I've been to a few festivals now, but always as a student or to support a fellow filmmaker. So, as a finalist in the 2009 Charleston International Film Festival screenplay competition I took the opportunity to attend a festival as a filmmaker and went down to South Carolina last weekend.
I knew that going down alone would be a challenge seeing as I am not the most confident networker in the world, but I got my business cards printed, my pitches solid in my mind and made my way down south again.
