Your Film Is Finished. Now What?
Work with a Festival Insider to craft your path.
Boutique, expert, and grounded. No fluff.
I’m Jason Eldredge, filmmaker, festival screener, and former music supervisor who has been on both sides of the programming table. My short film, MASC, had a successful festival run and won awards, and now I serve on the Screenings & Selections Committee for the Hamptons International Film Festival, where I have evaluated hundreds of narrative and documentary shorts and feature films. I know what Festival Programmers are actually looking for— and how to help you get there.
What I Offer:
Festival Strategy & Consulting (flat rate per project):
• Tailored Festival Submission Strategy: We’ll create a smart, custom Submission Plan based on your film’s strengths, premiere status, genre, and goals.
• Rough Cut Feedback: Full insight into viability, positioning, and festival readiness from someone who screens for and participated in major festivals.
• Director’s Statement & Cover Letter Guidance: What to say (and what to avoid) in your written materials.
• EPK, Stills, & Assets Review: What you actually need, and how to make your film shine without overspending.
• Deadline & Premiere Management: Avoid the common missteps that can tank eligibility or derail premiere status.
• Insider Intel: Real talk about how Programmers make decisions— and how to stand out.
• Distribution & Trajectory Planning: Where your film fits after the festival circuit, and how to leverage Official Selections for career growth.
Extra Options & Add-Ons:
• Cover Letter Writing
• Director's Statement Polish
• 30-minute Strategy Follow-Up Calls (after main service)
I keep this page unlisted and only share it directly. I’m selective about the projects I work with so I can give each film the focused attention and honest feedback it deserves.
