"Film festivals don't need to be about a brand new film; they can be about a number of things. They should serve the films and the filmmakers." - Brian Newman #NYWIFT
"This is forcing filmmakers to learn how to be their own publicist." - Alison Willmore #NYWIFT
"We are now remaking the model." - Jeffrey Fabian Winter #NYWIFT
"For films that don't have a chance for wider distribution, they have the chance for their film to be seen in a wider context" - Maori Holmes #NYWIFT
"What are the pros and cons of online festivals?"
Now that the idea has been cracked that a film festival could be done online, it'll open up a lot more opportunities for festivals and filmmakers - Jeffrey Fabian Winter of The Film Collective.
Lori Cheatle makes an excellent point where, in some ways, the delay in the industry has caused other aspects of filmmaking to get more time to work on quality - such as documentary subject interviews, or animation that needs to be done on projects. #NYWIFT
"You can really make it international."
- Maori Holmes talking about what it could mean to move festivals (Black Star Film Festival) like hers online. #NYWIFT
