Episode 21: Patrick Schweiss
I talk with Patrick Schweiss, executive director of the Sedona International Film Festival.
If you can listen to this podcast and not up and make a film specifically so you can apply to Sedona, let me know how you did it. In our conversation, Patrick outlines how the Festival treats its filmmakers like celebrities, what you should have for your festival strategy, what he thinks of hybrid festivals, and what the future of the Sedona Film Festival looks like.
When Patrick took the festival over, it was bankrupt. It can’t be any further away from that now in terms of vitality and importance in celebrating the creators of independent film.
