Hi everybody,
I am kinda new to the Festival world and have a (maybe stupid) question. I sent a short film to some festivals and got accepted for four small festivals so far. They sent me the laurels etc. but they all have an own (some really weird) design. So my question is if it is possible and legal to adjust the design of the laurels to make them match in their style (without changing the text of course). I've seen some short film posters where the laurels have all the same design and it looks way better. That's why I ask .
Also I don't know if it actually has sense to use these laurels to advertise the short film because, as I said, they are really small festivals (Venice Film Week / Roma Cinema DOC / Texas Ultimate Shorts / Wendy's Shorts). It's my serious first short film I have ever made and sent to festivals, therefore it would maybe make sense to use also these laurels because I highly doubt that the film has any chance for a lot bigger festivals. But does it look unprofessional to put a lot of unimportant laurels on the poster of my film, or is it better to use the laurels when I don't have anything bigger?
I hope you can understand my concern and thank you for reading.
Best wishes,
Tiemo.
