    It was great to meet the super-friendly Lift-Off team at their home at Pinewood Studios. I had a fun day meeting the other selected filmmakers, watching all our (mainly sci-fi) films together, and spending a few hours discussing our journeys so far. it felt a bit like a filmmaking retreat and I kind of wished it could have gone on for a few days with more filmmaking activities and discussions!

  • Edit :
    Claire contacted me after my review.
    There was a technical problem with the emails. She is checking it out.
    Since then she offered me to participate for free to another festival (Tokio Lift-off) and to have access to the networking.
    I thank her for that and as Lift-Off took the time to find a solution, I change my notes.
    Lift-off respects the directors and makes a real follow-up.
    It's very professional and has great value to me.
    Thank you so much for your help.

    First review :
    Totally disappointed by this festival.
    No communication at any time despite my email requests.
    Did it take place? When did it take place? How did it happen?
    This festival should be called Sci-Fi and mystery!
    I will gladly change my notes if I ever get an explanation from the organizers.

    Response from festival:

    Hello, we have discovered that the issue is because you have changed emails between the time you submitted and now. We have been sending to the original email you supplied us and heard nothing back. Please get in touch with our support team who will assist further. Do not worry we will get you screened with one of our festivals asap. Please email Claire@liftoff.network as soon as possible. many thanks.

  • Despite complications with COVID, this festival did a fantastic job of moving everything online, while still providing opportunities to network and talk with fellow filmmakers!

    Very nice people!

    I was delighted that my project โ€˜Even The Ratsโ€™ made the official selection and participated in the Sci-Fi & Fantasy: Genre Lab 2020. I found the festival team to be very helpful and supportive in answering questions and helping making arrangements for participation. The festival was virtual, and I applaud the festival for creating what I thought was a good event under the circumstances. I look forward to the opportunity to participate in the festival again someday!
