How I Started A Film Festival

About This Movie

How I Started A Film Festival is an interesting dive into the chaos and passion that comes with launching a festival from scratch. The pacing feels almost frenetic at times, mirroring the whirlwind experience of Nico Cariati as he juggles logistics, artist relationships, and the unending quest for funding. The rawness of the documentary showcases not just the triumphs but also the frustrations, making it relatable for anyone who's dabbled in independent film. There's a genuine warmth in the interviews with the filmmakers, who represent a diverse array of voices. You get a sense of community that's both inviting and, at times, overwhelming. The practical effects are minimal, probably by design, as the focus remains on the stories being told through the lens of the filmmakers themselves.
