We aim to submit to festivals such as ​Screentest,​ a student festival with a broad range of

catagories, including documentary and sci-fi fantasy, suggesting a broad demographic that

would be expecting a variety show, and therefore our atypical film would be enjoyed by such

an audience. Another festival, more suited to us specifically, would be ​Animex​, which

specialises in video games and animation. It holds screenings over a seven day period, with

lots of sessions for short films. While there is a greater chance of being lost in the mileu in

such a large festival, we would be closer to an audience with greater gaming fluency who will

become more engaged with the film as a result. ​Otherfield​ is a documentary festival in East

Sussex which specialises in abstract films that deviate from the norm. It holds workshops

that allow directors to discuss their ideas and inspiration with each other and with their

audiences. This festival will allow critique of our film, which as a student project, is important

to us in order to learn how to grow as filmmakers.

In designing our online presence, I looked to other Dungeons and Dragons documentaries.

Secrets of Blackmoor​ is a film about the history of the game, and it regularly posts artefacts it

has found such as old character sheets used in playtesting the original version of the game,

or obscure books they find interesting. We could emulate this by consistently posting strange

rules to build an online presence and fan base before teasing our documentary. This will

create anticipation and an audience before the film is released. Dwarvenaut, another

Dungeons and Dragons film, uses an incredibly minimalist approach. By having an internet

vintage style of yellow text on black backgrounds, with mostly text and simplistic

construction, it evokes nostalgic feelings of the 1990s. However, this seems unintentional

since the film is simply sold on a website which is old itself. However, if we were to

deliberately evoke this, and make it seem more professional by using marquees and pictures

which change when they are hovered over (things which seemed cutting edge in 2003 but

now seem adorable), we hope to extend the deliberately homemade design of the film.
