Moderating & hosting

We’re a safe pair of hands if you’re needing an industry voice to steer your event or panel and start engaging conversations.

As a trusted voice in the industry landscape, we are more than happy to be a Moderator or Host for your event. With ample prep time we can deliver just the guiding voice you need to spark conversation between panelists, and also field audience questions. We don’t just deliver the standard, we create something that goes a bit deeper than basic chit chat and entertains your audience.

During 2020 we partnered with the Film Festival Alliance to create an online space for festivals and filmmakers to learn more about their relationship called the Filmmaker Lounge. Festival guests included: Slamdance, TIFF, Tribeca, PÖFF Shorts, Indy Shorts presented by Heartland Film, Ann Arbor Film Festival, HotDocs, Cucalorus, Underwire and many more.

It was a recurring web event for filmmakers (and other industry folks) to be able to listen to programmers and other festival industry professionals talk on topics that are current. It was also a space for the discussion of the nitty gritty of the whole festival process - festivals, submissions, curation, and everything in between.

As all of us navigate the future of the festival circuit, we’re finding ourselves with more questions than answers. Festival Formula believes that communication and transparency are critical to the sustainability of the film festival industry. Which is why we are an informed and trustworthy name to be part of your event. Get in touch to discuss what you are needing, and we can help provide you with something specific for your delegates.
