A big part of why I agreed to join the board of Dome Fest West was to help the festival fulfill its potential of being a valuable marketplace that serves planetarium operators, filmmakers, producers, and distributors. Having been on all sides of those relationships, I’ve seen that nothing has an impact on show licensing like actually seeing shows in a dome, especially with an audience.

Whatever side of the equation you are on, I hope you’ll consider the benefit Dome Fest West (or another film festival in your region!) can offer you.
