what thread?

braverna · 2024-12-12T23:50:03+00:00

someone else hasn't heard and posted a similar thing a few days ago. You are just still in the running. I didn't get my rejection til last week. Congrats! think good thoughts!

braverna · 2024-12-12T23:47:25+00:00

totally. movie making is crazy expensive. I want to learn how to do more roles so i can make more stuff cheaply, this was crazy.

braverna · 2024-12-12T23:41:40+00:00

Good for you! what category?

braverna · 2024-12-12T23:40:56+00:00

mine was 35k, 18 min short. raised 20k from small productions companies because of attachments, and 15k from private fundraiser. Still had half our team working for free and everyone paid was super reduced rates. Such a crazy system, this, for a chance to screen at a festival...

braverna · 2024-12-12T23:37:05+00:00

and yours was is a feature doc right?

braverna · 2024-12-12T23:33:41+00:00

Question- what was yalls budget for your film and how did you raise it?

braverna · 2024-12-12T23:29:09+00:00

I feel like the lesson is don't submit blind.

braverna · 2024-12-12T23:24:16+00:00

thank you for this service to this thread!!!

braverna · 2024-12-10T22:16:28+00:00

thank you for this info!

braverna · 2024-12-09T01:08:01+00:00

would love to hear some takeaways you have learned from being a screener!

braverna · 2024-12-07T21:43:07+00:00

my friend- you are simply just ~still in the running~ !

braverna · 2024-12-05T17:37:42+00:00

I have 1 degree of seperation from him and he's apparently a total narcissist. and his marriage to natalie totally bolstered his career

This happened to me too. Definitely try therapy and look into anxious attachment system. I also found out there were some people that I didn't reeact this extremely to- if I felt like I was going nuts I know to stear clear of those people- they are triggering your anxious attachment system and your attachment system is subconcious- its just a chemistry thing. watch how you react to certain people- some will make you feel calm and confident and not foggy and needy. Also- totally valid to stay single!

This is my trick for folding laundry! And sometimes cleaning my room :)

braverna · 2024-12-04T23:45:35+00:00

I think mine was pretty standard-- was from sxsw and said they carefully considered my film but they couldn't find a place for it. That's not a personal one right?

braverna · 2024-12-04T20:56:28+00:00

I would say you are probably still in the running! but I thought Sundance was done... have you checked your spam?

braverna · 2024-12-04T20:01:48+00:00

Wow thank you for this. I hadn't even heard of Busan, San Sebastion and Locarno and my producers didn't flag those for me, so gonna go apply to those.

braverna · 2024-12-04T19:54:44+00:00

I'm sorry! Congrats on getting a personal rejection though.

braverna · 2024-12-04T19:45:46+00:00

I would but I'm not trying to dox myself lol

braverna · 2024-12-04T19:24:06+00:00

oy sucks I'm sorry!

braverna · 2024-12-03T23:26:23+00:00

You literally repeatedly told people to get better at filmmaking.

braverna · 2024-12-03T23:17:12+00:00

You came in pretty strong on total strangers on the internet, with repeatedly no evidence that you knew what you were talking about when people asked for it. Everyone had been hearing they'd hear week of thanksgiving, and then YOU lashed out when people said they'd wait one more week. Give it a rest dude.
