B-Side vs. Withoutabox

I first heard about B-Side getting into the film fest submission business last Saturday when I was in Atlanta interviewing ATL 365's Gabe Wardell for my blogger doc. And now, there is a lengthy article on Withoutabox's new competitor at indieWIRE; check it out. From the article:

"As with Withoutabox, filmmakers will pay nothing to B-side to use the service, but pay festival submission fees directly. But in the case of B-Side, participating festivals pay half as much as they would for listing themselves on Withoutabox."

Read the rest here.

Indie filmmakers & film festivals having options is generally a good thing, so am looking forward to seeing how B-Side's new service develops.
