Started out a great site but not anymore Started out a great site and alternative to WithoutAbox. However the site seems to have turned into a list of spam festivals that are virtual and all they appear to do is collect your money. People need to do more research on their own and submit directly to festivals if they can. Film Freeway can crack down on the useless virtual festivals if they want but they choose not to.

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!

SCAM SITE DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!!! Sad to say that I was naïve enough to believe this was a legit website... the obvious bots giving fake feedback was enough to fool me. I can't get my money back but I can stop you wasting yours. Here's what will happen if you submit: Nobody will read your work, they'll just reject it or give you a meaningless title like 'Selected' or 'Quarter Finalist' which means precisely nothing. They advertise services like script reading which never arrive.... most don't even have real contact details or websites you can go to. I dread to think how many people have fallen victim to this. Will be reporting to the cyber fraud division of the police, although I doubt they'll do anything... don't make the same mistake I did!

SO MUCH SPAM!!! There are very few festivals on FilmFreeway that are worth your time and effort; I spent about a $1000 USD in total and nothing good has come of any of it! The festivals are haphazardly put together, a lot of woke festivals where you have to meet every DEI marker and because I rely on good work, not those markers, I don't believe my work is viewed. I receive continuous spam in my email from garbage festivals that are just wanting my money, so much spam that it's too much to even comb through to see if there are legit festivals that would be worth my money. JUST PASS, don't waste your money!
