Moondance promotes the winners’ and finalists’ work and tries to get it sold, agented, distributed or optioned. If you win or are a Moondance finalist, you get promoted to ALL of the companies like these. Also, check out the prodco sponsors who have asked to be sent all the finalists’ work to be read & considered for roduction: Plus Films, American Zoetrope, Gruenberg, and One-Eyed Dog productions, which is run by Meg LeFauve, former president of Egg Pictures, Jodie Foster’s company.

Francis Ford Coppola optioned a Moondancer’s screenplay recently. Jodie Foster requested the 2001 finalists’ screenplays for consideration. Moondance filmmakers are promoted in the same way. One winner was invited to screen her film at Cannes, got a 3-picture deal and is in Australia now, doing the films. Other films were purchased or previewed by Sesame Street Productions, Lifetime Television, Oxygen Media (Oprah’s cable channel), and 5 were taken by a Singapore channel. More than a dozen Moondance films were recently purchased by KQED-TV, San Francisco, Canal Plus, the Sundance Channel and the Independent Film Channel.

Being a Moondance winner, finalist, semi-finalist or quarter- finalist looks great on your credits/resume. Many of the companies call for even quarter-finalists’ work, and past years Moondance winners’ work is always promoted.
