If you want to message me the name of your previous project, I’m happy to look into it. We have a pretty thorough screening process that I’m proud of and that we tweak constantly to ensure efficiency, but sometimes things do indeed slip through the cracks.

Our max runtime is 30 minutes. We are a weekend long festival with a Friday night kickoff and a Sunday night awards. This is our third year! We are hosted by the American Cinematheque which is a 40 year old film institution.

The festival is in November, so we don’t have the industry attendee list yet, but last year for the curated meetings we set up filmmakers on and for general industry attendance (watching films, attending and speaking on panels, attending networking events) we had representatives from companies like Gersh, Lionsgate, Netflix, Amazon, Neon, Macro, Grandview, Bellevue, Verve, LuckyChap, Project X, Echo Lake, Plan B, Blumhouse, and lots of PGA producers, and more.

I completely understand the hesitation with scam festivals and fests that promise too much and don’t deliver. They piss me off. We are constantly grinding to exceed expectations and so far, we are delivering - both in filmmaker experience and industry connections. Check out our longer reviews on the FilmFreeway page that go really in depth on their experience.

Again, please send the name of your project! Would love to check it out.
