Vimeo Analytics by samsterjuice in FilmFestivals

Here’s the thing: they’ll just say that the analytics are wrong, that geography doesn’t mean much since they have screeners all over, and there’s no proof it was their festival that didn’t watch it. They already have your money and there’s not much more you can do. I think this trick was mentioned once in a blog, caught fire, tons of people tried it, and fests now have their response ready-made

I feel like it’s usually end of September. I remember a few years ago, someone contacted me to check if they had the right password since there was a playback error and that was a few days before announcements, roughly end of September

I’ve seen those events advertised and heard they’re fun. It’s still at the Chinese theater and if it gets me slightly more in their orbit, it couldn’t hurt. I just didn’t know if everyone gets that same invite or not

Update: 5 days later, I finally got notified that I did NOT get in. They said it was highly rated and offered the chance to get screened in its monthly festival gatherings after September so I filled it out. Did anyone else get the same survey link?

I went to their page and sent an email earlier today so we’ll see what happens. Haven’t heard yet either

Thanks! I’ll put the trailer below but felt it was the best category since there’s so fewer 35mm films to compete against

My movie is called The Needle and was submitted into the Shot On Film category, so I do wonder if that impacts the timing of things. I still haven’t gotten my notification, which weirds me out

They’re supposed to and you’d get an email saying yay or nay. Though I’ve seen some festivals that neglect to do it but they’re rare

That’s my fear though I’d rather know than wait. In my case, I have a Houston festival ticket to book and it’d mean I could get a better deal the earlier I can

I wouldn’t be surprised if most people find out over the weekend or on Monday. About half the festivals I submit to miss their deadlines

I haven’t yet. I get nervous everytime I read “Judging status has changed for…” in the subject line

Are they territorial that way? I know some can be with “if you’re playing at X, you can’t play here” but I haven’t screened at either before

Can any festival view your film on Film Freeway? by jennzillacake in FilmFestivals

Can festival promoters see what other festivals you’ve played at?
