Look no further Look no further. If you're looking for comprehensive coverage and script analysis, FilmFreeway has you covered. From prompt turnaround to updates on the stage of the competition, to the powerful one on one Live Notes Consultation with Bob McCullough, FilmFreeway has it all. I would highly recommend taking advantage of all the services provided.

This site is indispensable but watch out for "scams" This site is indispensable for many video art open calls for festivals and exhibitions. Most festivals require their site for applying to their festival. However, FilmFreeway, very occasionally, inadvertently posts scams. When alerted, they will take them down. IMDb recently wrote this year that they were forced to "de-listed 42 international festivals in the past few years"...."‘Scammers’ are believed to set up fake festivals, upload them to portals such as FilmFreeway and take small submission fees for filmmakers to submit their work. But the ‘scammers’ allegedly never watch the films and there is no proof the festivals even exist." I was recently accepted to a film festival, ECRÃ advertised as live/in person, but they showed all video artwork "online" only (with no excuse...it was well after COVID). Another one this year was the BuenosAires Indie Film Festival - buenosairesindiefilmfestival.com. They don't show the work at all, neither online nor live. They have a website with no named judges or no past winners. They take the money for a supposed prize - all without any sort of public viewing. There is no web presence on Google other than their spotty 2-page website. Film Freeway eventually took this site down, and I was refunded my fee.

I 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.

Probably 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!

Don'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.
