Around The Reel - Fail-Try Again- Fail Better! with Cheryl Crooks
Episode description
We here at Around The Reel have always been a bit skeptical of film festivals. Are they just a money grab piggybacking off of filmmakers hard work? Throwing out useless award titles to get you to submit your film? Well, our guest today runs a very respectable and prestigious festival and she's proved otherwise! Today we welcome Cheryl Crooks the Executive Director of Cascadia International Woman's Film Festival to the show! Cheryl breaks it all down! What motivates her board of directors to provide a network for filmmakers, how this festival got started, their very specific selection process and one of the best things we've ever heard... There are no awards! Cascadia is currently underway with their online showings! Check it out via the link in the show notes! This discussion is one of the most in-depth conversations we've had about festivals so filmmakers, listen in and welcome our new friend Cheryl Crooks!
