Hello all! My name is Brendan, and I am a filmmaker in the Seattle area who pursues projects on the side. I thought I'd introduce myself, since it's been awhile since I've interacted with the platform.
I've a short in its festival run, whatever that looks like in our Covid world. I was hoping to submit to the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF), but the organization is currently shut down until further notice. I've submitted to a couple of festivals, and am on the lookout for a few more. I'd love to hear about other filmmaker's efforts to run their films through their festival run, or your change of plans in response to many festivals being shut down.
In any case, hope you're all having a great Sunday!
