Scam Film Festivals
I've mentioned it before that sometimes film festivals are pointless - they are seen by nobody, the reward of a certificate doesn't really advance your career, the judges have no reputation within the industry and the organisers/producers of the festival may be biased or are just doing it because they can/have to.
This article is really good and talks about scam festivals and how to spot one...have a read.

Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects...if you have an idea but need funding then this could be the place for you to look.
Not just film but if you need funding then this could be an option.
Have a look at some of the pitches...the best pitch seems to get the most funding and success.
