Does your film have what it takes to get accepted to film festivals? At the April 25 Film + Music + Interactive Happy Hour, Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) Director of Programming Beth Barrett will reveal what’s behind the curtain at film festivals, and share what you should be doing to get your work noticed here and abroad. Beth will also talk about facts for films that do make it into national film festivals, and provide examples of films that don’t. And if that isn’t enough, at the strike of 7pm Beth will announce the local film line up for the 2012 SIFF Northwest Connections program
