Fantastic festival – the feedback was amazing in that it was detailed and intelligent. The reviewers really understood the bigger concepts and subtitles of the my film (Spot The Indifference). I was also delighted that it won Best Performances and I’m very proud for the actors involved. Thank you once again!!


Thanks, Toronto. You have been a rock in my quest to get my screenplays produced. Your input is intelligent and always helpful.


Very impressed with the quality of the feedback, thanks so much everyone!


A fantastic festival that gives you audience feedback through a video compilation – nothing I’ve ever experienced a festival do before! It was incredible hearing what people thought of our film and the depth the were able to get from it – it was even slightly emotional hearing what they had to say. A Brilliant festival!


The most communicative staff of all the fests I’ve been involved with. Definitely focused on encouraging and promoting work.

Submit to the Festival via FilmFreeway:

The festival is amazing. we just have to thank for all the support from the team


I’m very honoured to have been the winner for a Best short film with my short film A MARTYR OF THE PEN, a Wonderful festival. With excellent creativity, communication and organization, I will be submitting future projects. Thank you CMFSF.


Networking an unproduced screenplay and getting it seen are the toughest elements of this business. The team at Crime/Mystery Film & Screenplay Festival are fully involved in your project from the get-go. With my biopic The Split, they provided a genuine appraisal of my work, demonstrating their knowledge in the field of entertainment. They’ve also encouraged me to get involved with their true crime podcast, which I’d be happy to do. I can’t recommend these guys highly enough. They actually follow through with their promise and support up-and-coming writers. Thank you.


Overall, awesome experience with this festival. Communication was top notch and having a recording reading of Hunk of Burning Love just added to the experience. Finally, being interviewed just wrapped everything up nicely. I highly recommend this festival.


The Action/Crime/Mystery Film and Screenplay competition provided me with excellent feedback as well as a table reading of one of my scenes and an interview! The whole experience was hugely valuable.


An amazing festival, we are grateful for receiving the Best Crime Movie Award. The Audience feedback, the podcast, the interview, everything was really well-curated and very helpful to promote the movie. Thanks to all the team at Crime/Mistery Film Festival.

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!


Today’s FilmFreeway Testimonial: Toronto/LA LGBTQ+ Festival

Deadline to Submit to the Festival:

Thank you, LGBTQ+ Toronto & Los Angeles Film Festival, for screening ’12 angry lesbians’! It was a rare treat to get audience feedback and learn what resonated with people. As a filmmaker one hopes that one’s ideas, and themes get communicated through the script, cinematography, and performances. The feedback I received encouraged me to continue making films. And for that I am forever grateful. Thank you for going the extra mile as a film festival. I wish they all did what you do–not only the feedback– but getting attention for our independent films through youtube and podcasts. You really know how to show support and love for film and filmmakers. Thank you.
