Useful stuff for your production

Writers
Info sites for scriptwriters and those who want to find them
www.darkin.demon.co.uk -The UK scriptwriter's Network my own info site for UK writers - I don't get a chance to update it that often, but it's got some pretty comprehensive info there anyway.
http://www.script-o-rama.com/ - a comprehensive list of screenplays and writers you can download (Well, obviously you can't download the writers themselves!)
Other People's Work
Films, filmmakers and sites related to them

Got it made. So now what?
Festivals, and other outlets
http://www.dv.com/ - a digital film festival
www.filmfestivals.com - site dedicated to film festivals
http://dir.yahoo.com/Entertainment/Movies_and_Film/Film_Festivals/ - yahoo's links to film festivals - there were about 100 there when I last checked. It's well worth a look as most of the sites listed have info on submitting your own production to festivals.
www.uxoomi.com - These people sell videos. They're offering to digitise and put up your production on the web, and will split any profits from selling tapes with you. It's a slick site, and worth a look.
One to Watch
Live video on the Web
http://www.culturejam.com/ - weekly Realmedia clips
www.real.com - the makers of Realvideo. They feature live video sites constantly.
Anything missing from this list?
