Submit to the festival via FilmFreeway:

I love everything about this festival. This is my first time submitting my work as a filmmaker so I value feedback immensely. This festival has felt like a big hug. It’s made me feel encouraged and inspired. Thank you!


Because I as a filmmaker am so close to the film, It’s truly helpful to get fresh eyes & feedback on a film to know what and how others are receiving the film… what stood out for them and what could be improved upon…The people who gave feedback were positive and very helpful…


Wowser. It feels so fulfilling to hear people commenting about and analyzing our documentary THE TRENT SAUCER, which won for Best Short Film. This is why we create films – to share with the wider world. Thank you for building this festival!


Congratulations! A great festival and grateful to have been selected as best Director!


Thank you for great communication and help in creating the interview and the video about the audience’s reactions!


The idea to hear what the public thinks about our work is excellent and a great way to connect with the audience from a very organic style of reviews. Thank you for the feedback on our micro-short “A Taco” and the exposure you give us as filmmakers!

Today’s FilmFreeway Deadline: ENVIRONMENTAL Film & Screenplay Festival

Submit to the Festival via FilmFreeway:

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:

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.

A festival designed to showcase the best of new environmentally themed films (shorts, features) and screenplays (shorts, features, TV pilots) from around the world. We accept any genre (animation, comedy, experimental, horror etc.) as long as it has an underlying environmental thematic. We seek to advance public understanding of the environment through the power of film and storytelling; which is why this festival has been created.

July 2025 Testimonials for ACTION/CRIME/MYSTERY Film Festival.

Submit to the Festival via FilmFreeway:

I am so impressed. I didn’t get my review and wrote inquiring about it. They resent it within the hour and actually called to make sure I received it. The feedback was perfect for my mystery story, where you want to tell enough but not tell too much to keep the story going. I will be sending more mystery screenplays their way. Meanwhile, I can hardly wait to see their reading of 2-4 pages in March or April.


We’re thrilled to had received the audience feedback video and award-winning laurel. It’s been an amazing experience participating in the festival, and we truly appreciate all the opportunities you’re offering to further highlight Bad Blood.


The Action/Crime/Mystery Film & Screenplay Festival is definitely worth your time! They provide invaluable resources for filmmakers, and they also are very helpful while recognizing your work. I recommend.


I can’t express how glad I am that I submitted to The Action/ Crime/ Mystery Film & Screenplay Festival! It’s been a fantastic experience all around! The format and organization make it streamlined and simple to participate in, they offer benefits that I’ve never seen at other festivals, and their process and assessment are well-rounded and fair. This will be my go-to festival from here on out!


Great festival! Very quick to respond and give feedback. It was a pleasure to be a part of and be selected. Thank you!

I would highly recommend this festival. Not only was the communication solid throughout, but getting feedback from the judges who watched our documentary was invaluable. Thank you for honoring our film, Burton Rocks Calling!


One of the most incredible festival experiences. Thank you Toronto Documentary Feature and Short Film Festival for such a positive experience. Your out of the box four tier screening & promotion option for filmmakers is truly unique and sets you apart as a festival. Heartfelt gratitude to the festival team members, audience and reviewers for awarding my short film MITTI (discovering Ikigai) as the best environmental film at the festival.


What an unusual and helpful festival! We make these films obviously to share with an audience, and to ideally hear how it resonates with them— so it was very special to be able to receive several people’s articulate responses to our film! And thanks so much for the good communication and the honor of Best Human Interest Film!
