So you've decided to do a Teen Film Fest, you have a million films entered because you promoted the craziness out of the thing, and now you are wondering what to do with all of it. Here are a few suggestions:1) Host a Red Carpet Event at your library. Go all out with trophies, decorations, a red carpet, cash prizes, and everyone dressing up all fancy.
2) Have your judges pre-screen the videos. This saves you the headache of trying to create certificates on that night, and lets the judges breath easier because they don't have to make snap decisions. But, it wouldn't hurt if they still attended the event and had some nice things to say to the filmmakers.
3) Share them like crazy on Social Media. You just had middle and high school students create content for you. Don't miss the opportunity to promote their work and your library in ways that you might not have been able to do before. 4) Send the films to a local TV station. If the films are good, why not send them over to the local TV station and see if they'll play them? They might not, but you never know...
5) Stream the event live, or have a celebrity (librarian, director, building manager) interview guests and the filmmakers and edit it into a post-Red Carpet Event video.
That's the end of this series on our Teen Film Fest, but I'll be back (next Monday).
