This panel shares hard-earned lessons from veterans of three diverse media festivals, including: an alumni oriented event centered at one university in Colorado; a student focused festival involving 23 campuses in the California State system; and a completely on-line festival featuring short films from around the world. Each approach presents special challenges while providing significant levels of awareness for the sponsoring institutions. In times of shrinking budgets, such awareness is critical for our continued survival.
