The Book

Chris Gore’s Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide is the 4th edition of a book project that began in 1999. A passion project for author Gore, the book has been called “the bible for film festivals” and has helped filmmakers such as Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) and Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) to sell their movies at festivals.
It is available at booksellers everywhere including Amazon.com, Barnes&Noble.com, etc…

Chris Gore Bio

Chris Gore is a writer, filmmaker and a television personality who has built a solid reputation as a hilariously outspoken voice in the film world.
As a teenager, Chris founded the legendary Film Threat, which began as a fanzine. He is the author of several books including The Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide, The Complete DVD Book and The 50 Greatest Movies Never Made. In addition to being a noted speaker and author, he is the film expert on the G4TV’s Attack of the Show where his weekly movie review segment DVDuesday is among the most popular. Chris began his own independent filmmaking career with the cult short Red and co-wrote and produced the feature comedy My Big Fat Independent Movie.

Our mission… and thanks

This site was created to support those aspiring filmmakers who forge ahead in spite of insurmountable obstacles. You may be confronted with looming deadlines, lack of sleep, little money, waning light, and a cranky crew… yet you do it anyway. Your reward is the indescribable high that comes with seeing an appreciative audience moved to laughter, tears and applause… from seeing your movie. Without your struggle to make uncompromising films, there wouldn’t be any festivals. Thank you for your stories... the ones you share with us through film and those behind-the-scenes battles that inspire us. To those filmmakers, enjoy the journey but always remember… be realistic about your dreams and never quit.
Thanks are due the various film festival staffs for their cooperation and ongoing support.
Thanks to you all...
