Chris Jones' spreadsheet of festival data for "Gone Fishing"

OK, so I wrote a few months ago on the blog, about the ongoing festival campaign and the spreadsheet we put together – but the data at that time was incomplete. As the main push for Gone Fishing has now ended, I thought I should tally up that data and share it – so here it is.

All in all, we entered 139 festivals… Of those festivals we were rejected from 66. That gives us a success rate of just under half at 47.5%.

I love the level of organization and analysis of a film's festival performance that this represents. Chris is highly motivated and loves to share his methods. Even if you don't do things exactly in this way, every filmmaker should be keeping similar records about their festival submissions and acceptances. A good read.
