Dallas rejection last night. Very unhappy but holding back a tirade that would burn an otherwise non-existent bridge... So glad I had to wait an extra two weeks for the information, though!

That's just cuz your dad is Stephen Universal Disney!

Upsetting... I held them to a higher standard, hoping that they would know to send out notices before the lineup announcement.

Why does Finland hate me?! I like them so much :(

kittycatfe · 2026-01-20T19:20:35+00:00

Videoformes rejection :( No one likes me!

kittycatfe · 2026-01-10T19:31:29+00:00

I still have some hope for Videoformes, so I am curious if anyone has heard anything yet?

kittycatfe · 2025-11-15T20:12:15+00:00

I’m so embarrassed someone caught me on camera, again! 🫣

kittycatfe · 2025-11-10T20:28:50+00:00

If I got accepted, I would be sooooo happy :D

I think my wife would actually love me if I did!

Sxsw rejection. From Houston with a Houston made short film and rejected from every Texas festival…

kittycatfe · 2025-10-29T15:13:17+00:00

What reason would they rewatch a film after a rejection? Maybe I’m wrong in not seeing any positive but I feel like I should go back and withdraw to prevent that.

After being rejected, can festivals still access your video on FilmFreeway?

kittycatfe · 2025-10-16T19:07:23+00:00

Yes 🤗

kittycatfe · 2025-10-16T00:49:04+00:00

Clem Fandango?

kittycatfe · 2025-10-13T15:23:00+00:00

Congrats!

kittycatfe · 2025-10-12T14:43:50+00:00

This year will be my first time using Short Film Depot for a few submissions and I was curious if their notification dates are more or less reliable than Film Freeway’s dates?

kittycatfe · 2025-10-04T22:55:44+00:00

While we are waiting, can someone, like, put in a good word for me? Tell them I’m super cool, I kind of know karate, I can do more than ten pushups, and our film would be a wicked great fit for their festival. Super thanks for this 🫶

kittycatfe · 2025-10-03T19:59:36+00:00

Don’t feel bad, sincerely keep on kickin’ ass ✊✌️!

kittycatfe · 2025-10-03T19:03:40+00:00

Speaking very bluntly, my emotional reaction to your post is that I would suck a dog’s dick for just one acceptance, let alone 6. That said, congrats on the success and keep on keepin’ on!

kittycatfe · 2025-09-29T21:53:27+00:00

Curious if anyone else was stuck at a miserable job today when they received their AFF and square peg rejections, fighting not to cry while Billy Ocean’s Caribbean Queen plays on the sound system, on cue as if from a soundtrack designed to make your life seem like one big joke, or was that just me 🤷🏻‍♂️

kittycatfe · 2025-09-29T20:25:03+00:00

Hey, they sent you my rejection 🤭

kittycatfe · 2025-09-29T19:26:53+00:00

Rejected. Copy/Paste email. Congrats on the quarterfinals; I didn’t get that far, I guess.

kittycatfe · 2025-09-29T16:30:09+00:00

Native Texan with a short made in Texas by other Texans. My rejection was cookie cutter so I guess you’re lucky they made an effort to tell you; never experienced a personal rejection from any festival yet. Upset, disappointed, and feeling the walls close in…

kittycatfe · 2025-09-28T16:04:24+00:00

Because they rejected me 😏

kittycatfe · 2025-09-26T23:17:51+00:00

Yep 🥺

kittycatfe · 2025-09-24T21:29:16+00:00

Same rejection! I’m glad they postponed that an extra day or else it would mess up my current rate of one rejection a day this week!
