Sundance 2008 Submission Deadlines
BY CYNDI GREENING, PHOENIX, USA — For those of you who like to plan ahead, it's time to start thinking about Sundance 2008. Yes, the festival isn't until January but there are a number of important deadlines that precede it. If you're a filmmaker, the primary concern is preparing your film.
SUNDANCE 2008 OFFICIAL SUBMISSION DEADLINES:
U.S. & International Short Films
Friday, September 1st, 2006
$35 ENTRY FEE
U.S. & International Feature Films and Documentaries
Monday, September 11th, 2006
$50 ENTRY FEE
If you're planning on attending the festival, you should book your hotel in October and purchase your festival package or pass. I heard a rumor that there would be some changes in the ticketing process (again) this year, so you may want to track the Sundance site for details. Around Thanksgiving, the sales begin. In early December, the films are announced (the new glitterati are anointed) and around January 1st, ticket selections must be made. So, while it's hotter than blue blazes out there and most of you are more worried about getting to the beach than you are to the mountains of Park City, those of us who love the festival are already aware of the ticking clock. Tick tock, tick tock.
