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
Are there any for for profit film festivals out there? If so, how does
it work in comparison to nonprofits or festivals run through fiscal
sponsorship deals with other organizations? I know it's a broad
question, but I'm just looking for some general thoughts...
Best,
