 So what is the IFP Market anyway? Great question. According to the Filmmaker’s Guide published by IFP it’s “an event for individual artists themselves to present their work to the industry… Supplemented by numerous panels, workshops and social events, the IFP Market is more than just a venue to screen your film and pitch your script. It is a five-day networking opportunity…”
This is a great description. Even so, I didn’t truly get the Market until I went. It’s a big experience – “a mad dash of a market” as my friend Abby describes it – consisting of screenings, scheduled meetings, a conference and a promising string of social events. I went to promote SISTER BEE. My husband (and SISTER BEE’s Co-Producer) Andy joined me. We had a blast. I’ll outline the details in my next few posts.
