Deadlines, travel and market weeks in the same schedule as the shoot
A festival strategy is also a schedule and a budget: delivery deadlines, market weeks, travel and accreditation costs. In Tubes you plan those milestones next to the production itself, keep the budget per scenario and see what a premiere or a market trip does to the numbers.
Tubes does not submit films or sell accreditations; the links go straight to the events.
From the event's own website. If an event has not published its next dates, the field stays empty rather than being guessed, and the "When" field shows the usual month.
No. Each card links to the official site and, where published, names the submission platform. You deal with the event directly.
Use the "Suggest it" form on this page with the official link. Listing is free; we verify against the event's own publications before adding it.
