  • Thank You 5 Film

    We were "accepted," but to my knowledge this festival did not take place. We submitted because our film was made in IL. I wish we had done our due diligence because it appears as though this festival may not have taken place for quite a few years now, but they are still accepting submissions on FilmFreeway.
