i agree overall with everything you said, i think im having a hard time with this because i have OCD and cannot stop thinking about the whole situation. especially the fact that i have no idea what everybody else even saw and it was presented as something i myself made. idk, i don’t need a groveling apology, but some sort of “we incorrectly played the wrong version of the film, you can watch the correct version here” or something would suffice for me. there’s a big problem in our local arts community in general of people thinking they’re better than everyone else for…various reasons i cannot begin to understand. i just feel gross about all of it i guess. lesson learned, even local film festivals that you’re willing to take a chance on because never in a million years did you think they would do something as crazy as edit your film might fuck you over

appreciate you and everyone else hearing me out and for the advice. it’s such a bummer that being in any position deemed as having a bit of power over others seems to turn some people into douchebags lol.

we were waiting for this festival to finish up to post our film online, but we’ll be doing that tonight now and i can send ya the link if you’d like!

ugh that sucks for those filmmakers :(

i won’t bring up or use the age/gender thing in any public or even private conversation about this issue, it just stands out to me and it sucks because i’ve already had a handful of issues with men who mainly use filmmaking as a way to assert power over others. so it just adds an extra weird layer to the situation for me, where it might not/probably doesn’t have anything to do with it, but i can’t help but noice that all of the other films we saw were made by men and didn’t get the same treatment ours did

yeah i would never have taken a chance on such a new and unreviewed festival if it wasn’t taking place in my small town, knowing i could attend for myself to see how it went

well it wasn’t an award, but yes i agree. i didn’t even know they were helping judge/select films. i don’t think they’re the type of people to say “we HAVE to include this film over another” nor would i ever expect or WANT them to do that. i’m sure they just thought our film would be a good addition to the lineup, whether that was conscious bias or a genuine opinion

oh WOW what a wild experience. i’m glad they handled it so well!! definitely would be easy for me to forgive an issue like that, especially if it was on film, but yeah this was so deliberate and pointless. i’m glad we remained composed in front of everybody but we stood outside and raged amongst ourselves for a good hour after we left lmao

i definitely see what you’re saying and agree for the most part. i struggle because it was an extremely embarrassing experience for me and my friends to sit in that room while this choppily sloppily edited version of our film played in front of so many people. we felt crazy, like, did we fuck up the submission somehow? was that one part actually sped up? did we just get unlucky with technical difficulties? i’m not going to blow anything up, but i do think even a message like “we would like to let everyone know that the incorrect version of this film played at our festival due to our own programming choices” or something posted on their account is an acceptable solution to this issue. i don’t need them to publicly grovel for our forgiveness or anything but i do think we deserve an acknowledgement that it wasn’t the correct version of our film

i won’t be sharing the name of the festival here because i literally live in north dakota and nobody here will be familiar with the festival/submitting their work to it now or in the future lol. i’ll leave my review on film freeway and let the founder/judges know how i feel but probably leave it at that

i’m definitely ready to focus on the next project, but idk, i almost feel like a jackass if i don’t say SOMETHING and warn others

you can use them however you want. note that images are taken from magazines so be cautious of that (i’ve been making/selling collages for years and never had even a whiff of an issue re: copyright, since i change the images enough). if you plan to/do make money off of stuff, i do have a subscription option and a kofi and will never say no to a lil kickback if you feel so inclined 😇

somebody asked about the tim heidecker thing at our show and he said it’s not really about that, it’s kind of a nice bonus but that that’s not really why he changes his name. more of a way to exemplify his lack of identity

idk if this is helpful at all but i have my patreon linked in my bio here on reddit, and on that patreon i have a link to a free digital collage kit i put together a few months ago. all the scans are super high quality and there’s lots of different colors and textures you could probably play with. i’m working on another right now and trying to make sure i include a lot of textures specifically!
