As a Film and Well-Being Producer, my advice for first-time film festival attendees echoes my life tips: Savor the journey, resist FOMO, and immerse yourself in each experience. The magic lies in the films and connections you create. Approach interactions with genuine interest—learn names, listen, and engage thoughtfully, regardless of status. Making others feel that they matter. Be a multiplier for good, whether in an intimate panel or an after-party.
We all have the power to influence and inspire. Being present, fostering genuine connections, and radiating good energy will enhance your festival experience and contribute to its collaborative spirit. In essence, be yourself and watch the festival become an unforgettable tapestry of meaningful moments.
Really well researched and compiled, Stephen! As a 28-Year veteran myself, I have a few more to share with you to include if you wish. My presentation not as beautifully presented as yours -- prepared mostly for verbal sharing in group settings. Will email over if I can find an address for you.
