    I was notified a few days before the festival that our film was chosen! With that they said the next few days the schedule would come out. I was unable to attend, but no schedule was sent, no emails replied to, and their website had no info for the the film festival. Two weeks later I saw a post on Facebook about the results of the festival. Their website still had nothing, nor was I ever contacted back. Poor communication. If this festival is an uplifting event for filmmakers, make it that! I would love to know the films shown, so I can watch in the future and congratulate those that were there.
