    Festival selected and screened my film, but did not give me any communication, notice, or updates about it. I don't appreciate my intellectual property being used without my permission or notice.

    I have emailed them multiple times and received no response. No thank you.

    Quite a bad experience. The festival did not have my film on the date and time of my screening and I had to chase down the coordinators, provide the film, and have it screened three hours later than scheduled.
