What is your screenplay about?
My screenplay, Shadows of Stardom, is inspired by true events and explores the intense pressures and hidden struggles of an up-and-coming actor in the entertainment industry. It delves into themes of ambition, identity, and the cost of fame, as the protagonist navigates the fine line between personal integrity and the seductive allure of stardom.
Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?

I would like to get rid of a lot of the clutter in my house, but I don’t know how. The film peers into an alternate reality where technology provides a solution to this problem.
What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video?
I liked how they understood the film. Since it’s an extremely short film about an inexistent technological gadget, then the film didn’t only need to tell the story in its short runtime, but also establish and explain what the device is and how it works. I was happy that the audience wasn’t confused by the film.

Two former lovers, Robert and Cynthia, meet up to discuss their relationship. As the two revisit their pasts, the trouble that split them in the first place starts to rear up. They’re doing their best to set their differences aside, all the while being plagued by a single lingering question; is love enough?
Review by Julie Sheppard:
Acceptance is true to the title of this short film – – the central figure of Robert does indeed need to accept the fact that his relationship with Cynthia has ended. Despite his love for her, it is seemingly unrequited.
The two performers playing these roles are wonderfully subtle and believable in their frank scenes and the well-written dialogue reflects that. You can sense Robert’s searing pain at the loss and Cynthia’s honesty that she now belongs to another.
The gorgeous harbourfront setting near dusk is heavily symbolic as their relationship draws to an end, and the wistful orchestral refrains of the string instruments further help to achieve the tone of painful struggle.
The arresting camera close-up of the two rings tumbling off a railing adds to the theme of finality. This melancholy segment is in strong contrast to the soft and warmly lit, joyful flashbacks of the couple once happily together. By the film’s conclusion, it becomes universally relatable – – the very nature of life often demands acceptance of things that we cannot change.
We have created a hybrid festival with 4 tiers to enhance your film and your festival experience. All accepted films receive all four tier options:
Submit via FilmFreeway:
Tier #1 – Your film plays at a public film festival event where the audience will record their comments/reactions to your film on their camera or phone, then we edit them and send you a promotional video. No matter what you will receive a promotional video of your film of people commenting on your film.
Tier #2 (optional) – Your film plays on the Film Festival streaming service for 30 hours and invite a select industry audience to watch it. With this system, some films have already received a distribution deal as many platforms are looking for solid feature and short documentaries. We can not guarantee anything of course but this has been very helpful to many in the past. (see testimonials below)
Then (Tier #3) we will send you a list of questions to answer for our blog interview that will promote you and your film. Then after that (Tier #4) we will set up a podcast interview on our popular ITunes show where will we chat with you about the process of how the film was made.
