Lazy days - Distribution

The best place to find short films is on the internet as it such a vast portal for exhibiting your talent these days - being able to upload videos and work you have done onto not only your own website but big productions such as Youtube and Vimeo too, some stars becoming famous for their videos such as Chris Crocker for his pro-Britney Spears Videos and Esmee Denters for her singing videos.

Individually, all three of us posted our video onto our Facebook asking for some feedback from friends. As i did not recieve a lot of great feedback , I reposted it twice more receiving minimal constructive critisism, again. It was then uploaded onto the Internet, on the BDC playlist and we tried to uplaod via. Louis’ account, trying to get as much publicity as possible.
Other than promoting your piece you can also enter film festivals, but the more prestigious they are, you tend to have to pay a fee to enter, so we researched some free competitions, designed for our age (also that were free) and we found "Future shorts", of which submitted our via a Youtube link.
We sent "Lazy Days to" Future shorts and recieved a comfirmation email via. Louis' email saying:

"Dear Louis Spanswick O'Brien

Thank you for submitting Lazy Days to us, If you chosen to submit DVD copy of your film, please send it clearly marked with your submission number to: FUTURE SHORTS, 71 Leonard Street, London, EC2A 4QU We look forward to receiving your film.

Please note that we cannot return preview copies. Sub,mission ID: 0000005520 All the best, Future Shorts Programming."

...We are yet to hear back from them yet, so fingers crossed...

To distribute a short film you have to get your name and short(s) well known. The easiest and most frequently used is uplodaing onto a free online streaming websites such as youtube vimeo and veoh, as previously stated we've already submitted our work onto youtube, vimeo. As a group we submitted Lazy Days into free competitions as previously stated (Future Shorts), we then submitted to the BBC film network. This is because the BBC is a globally well known and prestigious corporation, with a lot of opportunities for rising talent (The BBC Blast Network - for teenagers of all ages).
