It is the worst ever festival I have been with. The man named, Mark, sent me and replied me wrongly for a week long. It drives me crazy. AFter all, he said, it was wrongly sent. Then, what he started to write to me is blaming with a kind of rude words. I will copy and paste here some of the emails as they are.

Hi Mark,
Good Morning.
Now, I feel confused.
You wrote to me as follows and I spread these words to my professors, my school, crews, casts and friends and supporters.
Now you said, it is just a submission of a script, it will humiliate my image.
Please straighten it out on time.
Let me know what I should do on my end.
I am very worried and concerned.
Regards,
Sandra

Hi Sandra,
according to your situation, Mrs.Maggie will let your film be screened online because she doesn't want to let you down in front of your friends, about the program that we posted sorry we won't be able to change the design.
N.B you shouldn't do like this at any festival again as they will add you to the black list and this is not good for any filmmaker
Please kindly see that he wrote to me that , "N.B you shouldn't do like this at any festival again as they will add you to the black list and this is not good for any filmmaker ." He means that I cheated him and teh festival. In fact, he tried to hide his fault that he wrongly sent me the mail for many times.
He wrote the other two bad words too. If you are interested, let me know. I can share all the communication emails from the beginning to the end.
Yes, it is the worst ever experience I have through Filmfreeway with La Femme. Otherwise, all other festivals I participated are great.
I wrote here not to make their image down, but to let know all that the story can be upside down and could be flipped to hide the faults in order to blame the participants down. When I asked the responsible person's email to explain, he did not give me.
