Future Festivals Worldwide:
Festival Ambassadors contribution's will be to act as "filmfestivals ambassadors" at film festivals with festival credentials from filmfestivals.com in their home regions. FFEG would help ambassadors get accreditation at festivals they attend. Compensation would be exposure and credits on the filmfestivals.com website.

Ambassador Workshop
The Film Program Cannes will hold "Festival Ambassador" workshops. The workshops will cover all aspects of the Ambassadors program. During the workshop videotaping assignments and guidelines will be covered in detail.

NOTE: Suggested Equipment: (required min. 1 miniDV camcorder)
In addition to a miniDV camcorder, a few other accessories are invaluable (not required). First would be a decent tripod, preferably one with a fluid head that allows smooth panning. Manfrotto-Bogen make some of the best low-budget units that offer sturdy support and decent performance. Next would be an external microphone, such as a short shotgun and/or wireless lavalier. These will allow you to get better sound than the built-in microphone that came with your camcorder. A lavalier microphone, preferably a UHF model to limit signal interference, is useful for interviews and for allowing you to capture sound when your subject is a distance away from your camera. The shotgun microphone will allow you to do the same but can be more tricky to master. Good models are made by Sennehiser, Audio-Technica, Sony and Samson. A wide-angle accessory lens is useful for when you have to work in tight confines, and an on-camera video light for low-light filming situations. Finally, always carry extra batteries for everything and plenty of videotapes.
