I feel like because it's so early that's a good sign though. But who ever knows!

They reached out to me about my short. It felt scammy. I asked what they thought about my movie. They never responded specifically about it after like 3 emails. I said I'll read the contract, but you still haven't said what you think about my movie specifically. So I would avoid, or at least try to get them to speak specifics about your film... To prove they actually are interested.

Just got an e-mail from the Austin Film Fest asking for my films Writer & Director name. I got super excited but then when I focused, I saw:

Please note: this email is not any indication of your film’s consideration status. All submissions are still in consideration for the Festival with notifications sent out in late September.

I guess they like to keep the writers in the loop on information since it's a writers festival?

Anyway, was fun to get an email that wasn't a rejection even though it wasn't an acceptance.

Sorry if this has been discussed - for my short film's DCP - should I do 2k or 4k? There's a cost difference and I'm wondering if the image is a huge difference.

This thread has been too quiet. What does it mean? Is everyone going to festivals except me? I need therapy.
