GBFilmfreeway is always good. Customer support is second to none. Filmfreeway is a great way to find festivals and contests and is a one stop shop for the whole procedure. I have entered many festivals through Filmfreeway leading to major successes with two of my short films and three of my scripts.

GBDon't bother—go to festivals directly FilmFreeway is basically a junk mail machine that shares your email address with hundreds of fake and pointless "online festivals" who again share it with others, and if you should ever try to submit a film to any of them, don't expect to hear back. If you've put blood, sweat and money into making a film, don't just lump it into an aggregate website; carefully select the festivals you want to submit it to and go to them directly. If they have a FilmFreeway link on their site, stay well clear.

GBExpect film festival spam As others have said. After successfully using Filmfreeway, I now receive an un-ending quantity of spam from film festivals I've never heard of. Multiples per day. After posting this review, Film Freeway deactivated my account and threatened to sue me.

GBProbably Great If You’re A Festival This is quickly turning into a complete waste of resources and money. 1 out of over 20 “not selected” festivals will explain why your film wasn’t selected. I don’t think many of the films make it to a human. I could understand this for Sundance, etc, but particularly short film festivals and monthly’s. They should be able to communicate why your film didn’t make it. Many don’t even send you a courtesy email, and the ones that do are automatically generated and totally impersonal. For the fees of some these festivals, this is petty and lame and clearly a scam. Good luck!

GBI paid thousands on Film Freeway… I paid thousands on Film Freeway applying to festivals. I now receive literally tens of thousands of junk emails from all sorts of festivals I never heard of nor applied to. I can only explain this by Film Freeway selling our data to third parties. Utterly useless website.
