I believe SXSW is for profit. And I believe they profit rather well. There are certainly a number of small festivals that by default are considered "for profit" because they haven't done the legwork to achieve non-profit status, but are essentially operating like a non-profit. Ultimately, I think the distinction comes down more to the motives of the operation then their legal fiscal standing. There are non-profits out there where the director/CEO is making high six figure salaries, while there are for-profits where nobody is making a penny.
Achieving and maintaining non-profit status takes a significant amount of work, and sometimes money, but then once achieved certainly makes fund-raising significantly easier. -matt On Sun, Apr 21, 2013 at 11:38 PM, jb.mabe <[email protected]> wrote: > Are there any for for profit film festivals out there?
