For me, The Film Festival Doctor is not only a highly professional mentor, but also a genuinely supportive partner. After reading a script or watching a film, they consistently provided clear, insightful, and strategic guidance on festival positioning and submission planning. After reading When She Forgot, Rebekah helped us develop a precise and highly targeted festival strategy. She patiently analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the project and guided us in building a focused submission plan. Thanks to Rebekah’s festival spreadsheet, we saved a significant amount on submission fees while still receiving invitations from nearly all the festivals on the list. When She Forgot has been the project where we spent the least on submissions but achieved the strongest results. I highly recommend The Film Festival Doctor and their team.
