Disclosed my private email to mass spammers and scammers To get ahead of FilmFreeway on this, who seem to be waging a war against people who speak up - my name is Cadance Bell, an author & filmmaker from Australia who made the grave mistake of using the service in 2020. Since that time I have received many hundreds of spam emails for film festivals - most of which are scams or a notch above. I never requested to be signed up to any email lists and I never imagined that a company would divulge my sensitive & private contact details in this way. If you are a professional in the industry and want your identity and communications protected; avoid FilmFreeway.

Expect 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.

they don't support the writer they don't support the writer. if a festival doesn't hold up to its side of the deal there should be refunds. there should always be refunds before script is read. honestly if you're entering a film festival and they keep the judges names private it's BS. i've won over 40 times on filmfreeway and literally nothing happens except i've spent a ton of money for nothing. also most of their festivals charge you for awards. my suggestion: stick to the big festivals. save your money to make movie instead of betting these smaller festivals will help.

Filmfreeway is far superior site to all… Filmfreeway is far superior site to all the others. Its great to navigate and edit your film and profile, the layout is great, its very easy to find the information you need. Blows the others away by a mile. It is much easier to put all the material in one place than to send all the material to different festivals all the time. I like the filtering possibilities where you look up festivals, which makes it easier for a fairly narrow film to find the festivals that may be relevant. As well as the ability to update the page easily and follow the film’s statistics.

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.
