How to Make a Film Profile

When you registered on festagent.com as a "filmmaker"
you get the opportunity to create the film profile.

You can see how the film profile looks like in the section "Clients"

Film profiles are a great promo tool

And among other, it helps to work with selectors of film festivals many of which use our catalog. You can add detailed information about your film and some multimedia materials, and then easily share the link. Having everything in one place is very convenient.

Creating a card

First step

Start with registration. It's simple: in the upper right corner click "Sign up". Choose one of the ways (e-mail, Facebook or Vkontakte). If you register via e-mail, then after registration you will receive a link to your e-mail box that you should click on to confirm registration. This helps us fight with bots and fake accounts.

Log in to your account on the site and by clicking on your name, on the top right, you will see the section "My Projects".

Do not forget to click the "Save" button after filling in each section. There is a "View" button next to it, but you can use it only after saving the changes made to the project, otherwise, you will have to enter everything again.

Project

There you will see a list of your projects (at first it will be empty) and the button "New Project". After clicking on it, the project creation page opens.

Address

First, enter a permanent address for the web. It is best to write the name of the film in English. You can write only in Latin, use only lowercase letters, numbers, and instead of spaces put a hyphen. Examples: "milk" or "insignificant-details-of-the-accidental-episode". So you will create a permanent address for the film profile, which you can later share. It is important to note that later you can change the address, but if you already gave a link to the old address, it would become invalid.

Again, the "Project" tab

The name of the film is already indicated in Russian and English. Be sure to fill in the second line — the name of the film in the original language, that is, in the language of the country of production. Even if it is a double of Russian or English. In other cases, write, for example, "Polish" or "German".

The synopsis is a brief annotation of the film. Write the text in Russian and English. Please note that the volume must not exceed 500 characters.
Director's Statement. Again, not more than 500 characters. A few words from the director, with whom you would like to present your film to the audience. Tell, why this film is important for the author, and why you want to show it to the whole world. Interesting facts about the shooting of the film and the background of its creation. The style is free.

Website, social networks, IMDb – links to all information about the film on the Internet, on groups and public pages of the film in social networks.

Specifications

Runtime. Indicate how many hours, minutes and seconds the movie lasts.

Aspect ratio. It is the ratio of the frame width to the height. For example, 16:9, 4:3, 2.35, 1.85 and others.

Color. Specify whether your movie is in color, black and white or whether it combines both.

Production Date is put on the copyright at the end of the film. Indicate the month and year of the full readiness of your movie.
Countries. If the film was shot in co-production, first you need to add the main country of production, then — the country co-production. Start typing the name of the country in English and select the desired one from the drop-down list. To add a second (third, and so on) country, click the "+" button.

Main language and subtitles. Add the language of the movie dialogs. If there is more than one language in the movie, indicate the one protagonists speak most often. If you have subtitles for the movie, specify all the languages the movie was translated to. If there are no subtitles, leave the field blank. To add a language, start typing its name in English. As with countries, to add additional subtitle languages, click the "+" button.
Currency and Production Budget. Choose the currency in which the financial calculations were made (USD, EU, GBP, etc). Enter the amount spent to produce the movie. You can enter only numbers in the graph, without using spaces. If you wish, you can leave this form blank.

The Categories field is obligatory. Tags of the sub fields "genre", "optional", "author", "themes" will help to identify your film among a large number of others. Select all tags that match your movie (when the tag is marked, it becomes yellow).

Before setting a Maturity Rating, study the international motion picture content rating system.

Files

Attach the poster (if available) and stills from the film. Important: photos and pictures should not be more than 400 kb (better - 300). The site supports such file extensions as * .jpg, * .png. To upload a picture, click on the button with a yellow pencil and select the files on your computer. To change or delete the image, press the pencil button again (on the already loaded image) and select the desired function.
In the Additional Videos section, you can add a link to the teaser/trailer for your movie. Specify the name of the video you want to post (in English, for example, "Teaser of the movie "Milk "), and paste the link to the video from any hosting.

Downloads section can include dialog lists, press releases and other additional materials for the film. Enter the name of the uploaded material (for example, "Dialog list of the film "Milk") in English and select the file on your computer.

Credits

Carefully fill in the information about the director. The form is so detailed, because this information is really important for festivals (and viewers). All information must be entered in English. If the director takes an additional position (scriptwriter, producer, etc.), click the "Add position" button and select the one from the list.
Add the main members of the crew (scriptwriter, producer, actors, cinematographer/DP, production designer, composer, animator, editor, sound engineer). Enter names in English. To add a member of the crew, click the "Add person" button. As in the case of the director, if a person occupies several positions in the film, click the "Add position" button and select all that apply.
Fill in the information about the company (legal owner). If there is no studio as such (the legal owner is an individual), leave the form blank. You can specify more than one company.

Festivals

Add all the festivals to which the film was selected. It is important to specify the month and year of participation correctly. Firstly, it is honest, and secondly, soon we plan to create the opportunity to watch films of participants and winners directly in the festival cards.

Before writing the name of the festival, look for it in our catalog. This will simplify the verification of statistics. To do this, it is better to manually start writing the name — the system itself will offer variants from our catalog.

Public Account

Select the privacy settings for your film profile (the default is "Limited"). From the bottom, you will again see the permanent address of the project. Enter the name of the movie in English, without using capital letters, and instead of spaces put a hyphen. Example: "condensed-milk".

Secret link is generated automatically by the system. This link opens full access to the film profile, regardless of the general privacy settings. Share this link only when you sure that the recipient will not show the film to unauthorized persons.

To edit or add additional information to the film profile, go to "My Projects" and on the profile, you need click the button in the upper right corner. To remove the profile from the site, click the red X.
