    I seen a few reviews that experienced the same thing I did. My film "Devil in My Dreams" was an official selection. I found out literally two days before the event was to take place. I checked the website and all the information was old and not updated. When I e-mailed them to find out where the festival was so I could attend and I received no response. I later received a general e-mail saying how great the festival was.

    But, it is what it is. Just thought I would share my experience so more people are aware.

    Our feature was accepted as an official screening, we got notice the night before, no way to travel and attend, phone calls where not returned nor were emails. After contacting filmfreeway to find out. we finally got an email 4 days after the event stating they had a change of venue. We could not have shown our feature as it is not downloadable, and as I did not have any communication from them, I could not supply them with a link. Very strange indeed.

    Matina,

    Why would you send your film to a film festival without a downloadable link? I am so sorry you had a bad experience. We really work hard to give attention to all our participants.
