Actually, I'd like to add that if a major festival programs your film and your goal is to get paid to make movies, you're probably doing something wrong. Ten years ago, not so, but these days... even the Huff Post had an article about what killed indie film and many commenters agreed that festivals killed the indie by programming crap nobody wants to watch. Ashton Kutcher's Spread being shown at last year's Sundance is a PERFECT example. There wasn't ONE film submitted that was better? Really?
Film festivals have marginalized themselves so badly that they now truly live up to the worst cliches that regular people believe about them. There are no Primers, Pis, Clerks, or Bricks to prove them wrong anymore. It's all nepotism... forget getting in without a publicist or a major connection, won't happen. And mumblecore was the NADIR of film festivals... it's easier to break into the studio system than to get into a film festival now, so what good are they?
