Red Finch Film Festival is located 30 minutes from Robert Redford's Sundance Ski Resort in the same building as Audio West (premier recording studio and concert venue) Center Stage Dance (one the best Dance studios in the USA) and Hale Center Theater (Esteemed regional theater company)

    Thank you so much for consideration and subsequent award on our music video YOUR ONLY FRIEND IN TOWN.
    Having participated in the Film Festival this year, it was really quite a daunting and intimidating experience, and so we thank you for reviewing our work.
    It encourages us to keep producing more high quality videos.
    Thank you!

    At first I was excited to receive the selected email via FilmFreeway, but then I never heard from them again. There was no response to any of my emails. There is still no functioning website. No contact details other then the one email address on their social media to which no one replies. I was very disappointed and till this day wonder if it was a scam.
