One of the goals of the BFF is to communicate our students' messages of concern to as large an audience as possible. The first thing to do is make a good film and enter it into the festival. That's the hard part. The next thing is to give the film the best chance to be found and viewed on the internet by enhancing the videos' metadata. This is called Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and it's pretty simple to do.
