Michele Noble on Navigating the Film Festival Circuit and the Joys of Free Food

There's no more glowing recommendation for a prospective film festival than "they gave me a free breakfast." This is one of the many pearls of wisdom we gleaned in our talk with independent filmmaker and Institute Advisory Council member Michele Noble. Michele directed and produced the short documentary Reclamation: The Rise at Standing Rock, which won the Tulalip Cares Prize at the 2018 Social Justice Film Festival, and we were lucky enough to sit down with her to learn how a filmmaker can put finishing touches on their work and begin to market it to film festivals, as well as how to stay sane while navigating the film festival circuit. We hope you enjoy it.
