My list has gained some credibility, an Irish distributor (Derry O'Brien) has validated some of my claims, he says social realism is not what he wants from short film. In his own words - "razor blade stuff". Its not marketable, and not what people want to see in a worldwide recession. He also gave out a very useful Do's and Dont's of short film marketing. Some useful websites I wasn't aware of were also revealed so all in all, a very worthwhile and useful hour and a half.
Next, another shot at Best of British, and i'm hoping for a more uplifting experience this time around. After that, its networking time at a 4docs happy hour.
