Stay 'tooned - Submit your animation film to Animation Calling - festival strategy and marketing
Animation calling is a festival submission service (we are a for hire service) specifically aimed to animation professionals and related industries for greater success and increased visibility. Navigating festial waters can be wild and difficult to master. I would be very pleased to discuss your animation film project needs and formulate a customized solution stategy. With my years as an animation producer, fstial director and programmer my expertise can shine some light on a sometimes daunting task. Delicate strategy and continuous festival submissions play a key part in the success of any film Why not yours own?
Let's work together and let me help support you and your film, TV series , VR/AR or transmedia project on the festival circuit and onto the world stage .
