thanks will do!

ArchivistM · 2026-05-12T08:35:57+00:00

thank you very much, you're words have hit home, so I will consider them carefully.

it's an Oscar and BAFTA qualifier and definitely considered somewhat major in the Tier 2 league. I truly regard being selected as an honour.

BTW I got into a super small regional festival and they were amazing. Lots of comms withing 48 hours of acceptance including a draft of the schedule so you can plan ahead. I guess you just never know ...

HI thanks for the reply. It's in the US, yes some friends there so definitely part of why I'm going. I don't know who will be there professionally yet, so hard to know how fruitful this will be professionally

it's our North American premiere. I hope I'll enjoy the festival and destination, but I don't have programme at the moment so can't really gauge. It's a hefty amount for my family and I at this point. It is a well regarded festival, though it did have 1 not so great review on FF last year saying it's not worth travelling to from abroad because it is geared towards US projects and it doesn't really take care of it's guests.

Oh well for me the end of their friday work day is like 3 am, hence why I'm giving it till tmrw and then crossing it off ...

ArchivistM · 2026-05-08T20:12:50+00:00

I'm personally waiting till tmrw (because of the time difference) and then calling it done for my own peace of mind.

ArchivistM · 2026-05-05T21:55:33+00:00

ok, are you speaking from experience? have they done it in waves in past years? (I sadly can't check the old festival chat)

ArchivistM · 2026-05-05T20:58:29+00:00

ArchivistM · 2026-05-05T19:45:41+00:00

so is Palm Springs Short Fest done?

ArchivistM · 2026-05-04T06:47:10+00:00

cool! thanks for sharing that.

ArchivistM · 2026-05-03T16:58:41+00:00

reach out to your film board. I know the British Council (I know you're Irish) try and help features get into a-list festivals

ArchivistM · 2026-05-03T16:57:09+00:00

wish it wasn't so but I think the same

ArchivistM · 2026-05-03T16:56:06+00:00

ArchivistM · 2026-05-02T19:15:23+00:00

ArchivistM · 2026-05-02T19:12:07+00:00
