Permanent Film Festivals with Associated Scriptwriting Contests Suggested by Savvy Mom Ruth Paget

Permanent Film Festivals and Scriptwriting Contests (Usng France as an Example) Suggested by Savvy Mom Ruth Paget



Many British tourists visit Northern France, because William the Conqueror and his descendants were kings and queens of both England and France. 

Ferryboats capable of bringing tour buses and cars use the harbor in Calais to bring over tourists and businessmen alike.

This region might like to hold permanent film showings of Luc Besson films that feature music, multiethnic heroes and villains, and technology from all over the world.  These films are already moneymakers in France and part of the country’s contemporary culture.

Theatres and sports bars could both show these films.  (People could wear ear buds in sports buds to watch various films and sporting events that are supposed to earn residuals for reruns.)

Also, scriptwriting contests could be run in different communities with a prize of free coverage to best determine which films to make for profit.

The French government subsidizes film production and might appreciate:

-scripts with coverage scores for production

-business plans that address distribution venues and merchandise marketing, especially of French agricultural products and useful products associated with the film

Scriptwriting festivals are a way of getting films ready for competition.  Towns around northern France might like to specialize in a particular kind of film.

The towns that might be interested in a permanent film festival with scriptwriting festival include:

-Cambrai

-Lens

-Valenciennes

-Calais

-Douai

-Béthune

-Dunkirk

-Maubege

-Boulogne

-Arras

-Saint-Omer
