Today’s FilmFreeway Testimonial: ENVIRONMENTAL Festival

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.

Today’s FilmFreeway Deadline: EXPERIMENTAL, DANCE, MUSIC Film Festival

Deadline Today to Submit to the Festival via FilmFreeway:

Currently 198 FIVE star reviews on FilmFreeway!

In-person public screenings, plus other avenues to enhance the filmmaker’s film (audience feedback video, virtual festival, blog & podcast interview).

NOTE: The festival has created a hybrid festival with 4 tiers to enhance your film and your festival experience. All accepted films receive all four tier options:

Tier #1 – Your film plays at a public live event where we will record the audience reactions of your short or feature and then send you the feedback video. Or, it plays at a private 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) – We put up your film live 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 films. 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.

——

The goal of this festival is to showcase the best of new experimental short films and independent music videos from around the world. Films that don’t get a fair shake from other film festivals because programmers don’t know where to “categorize” these films. There isn’t a typical linear story occurring so most festivals can’t truly understand the talent and beauty around these films.

We want to showcase films that showcase true originality and talent from filmmakers from every corner of the globe. And also showcase new musicians who have made a music video and want it to be shown.
