    This is a pyramid scheme. I was told that I was a finalist but could only be considered for an award if I attended a each day of a three-day self-help seminar wherein the only message they wanted to get across is "get your picture taken with the celebrities we paid to be here and people will think you're important." I guess the upside is you didn't have to pay the $5,000 fee that other attendees did.

    I tried to get in touch many times and the communication was awful or I got responses by emails with 72 different colors and fonts using words like "marketing" and "entrepreneur." There was absolutely no information about when films would be screened. I got dozens of emails leading up to the event to participate in a webinar where the guy running this Ponzi scheme stood in front of a poorly-lit green screen bragging about how he told someone that she was making the mistake of a lifetime if she chose to stay with her dying mother instead of attending this conference (again, for about $5,000).

    I feel ripped off that these two suckered me into paying $50 for absolutely nothing. I'll be contacting FilmFreeway to have this festival removed.

    Wouldn't email or call me or my producer back with any information about the festival. It just claimed that I was a "Semi-finalist" on film freeway, yet they never explained what that meant. Really not a good experience
