More expensive than many festivals but more benefits to the film maker and their team. Looking forward to see what comes of this coordinated effort.


Out of all the festivals I submitted my short film to this has be the coolest one! The Festival Director is super communicative and sent several updates throughout the time the festival was going on.

Bill W Conscious Contact selection is best feature film has placed our documentary in front of a much broader audience for which we are exceedingly grateful.

Submit to the WILDsound Festival Today:

I have really enjoyed dealing with Wildsound. There is lots of personal interaction, which is appreciated. I would certainly recommend this festival. I got a real kick out of the audience responses. One even made me laugh. The interview that Mathew did with Marta Renzi and Daniel Wolff in reference to a documentary they made about my wife and I – Cathy and Harry – was terrific.

We loved how this festival operates! We entered our film, Sanguine Deposit, and we were thrilled to screen with them, but the feedback video was amazing!

Such a great festival! They were really supportive after my film won, providing me with audience feedback for my movie and resources to help spread the word about it and connect with other filmmakers. I highly recommend this festival!


Wonderful experience. Highly, HIGHLY recommend.


HORROR Underground was an incredible experience and I highly suggest it to any film maker.

Their feedback videos are very helpful as well. Can’t wait to submit my next project!


I really enjoyed being a part of this festival. It has such a unique approach to how they screen your film, and also let the audience provide feedback in such a great straightforward way. 10/10 would recommend!

August 2025 ENVIRONMENTAL Film & Screenplay Festivals

Submit to the Festival via FilmFreeway:

Thank You – Environmental Film & Screenplay Festival

I’m honored that the Environmental Film & Screenplay Festival selected Polar Break.

This project was born out of a deep concern for what is unfolding in the Arctic.

Thank you for recognizing a story that’s as much about survival as it is about sacrifice. To be included alongside other filmmakers and screenwriters committed to telling urgent, grounded environmental narratives means a great deal to me as a screenwriter.

Grateful for your support and platform.


It was an amazing festival; I loved the screenplay, reading, and any festivals that supported the environment.


It was an honour to win best short here – Matthew and the team really care and take the time! The addition of the viewer feedback was great and something that you don’t really see elsewhere. Keep up the good work!


Thank you so much for showcasing (PLASTIK) – the team absolutely loved receiving all the feedback and we are so happy to win the BEST MICRO-SHORT! We hope that more people will be drawn to watch our “small but mighty” film and remember that people are the problem but also the solution to the plastic pollution crisis.
