Today’s FilmFreeway Deadline: ACTION/FANTASY/SCI-FI/THRILLER Festival

Submit to the Festival via FilmFreeway. Deadline Today:

A showcase of the best Action/Adventure/Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Thriller Films and Screenplays from around the world. In-person and hybrid screenings. Plus interviews for the artists.

Festival takes place every single month.

Screenplay submissions offer writers at all levels the fantastic opportunity to hear their stories read aloud using professional actors. Full feedback on all submissions as well by our team of professional screenwriters.

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 we will chat with you about the process of how the film was made.

FEEDBACK Toronto Comedy Film and Screenplay Festival is a must for filmmakers because you get direct feedback that allows you to know if your film works. Do people get it?

Terrific read on my script, did a tremendous job! Great feedback and suggestions. Enjoyed meeting them and had fun on the podcast. Heartily recommend the Toronto Comedy Film and Screenplay festival.


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.

Today’s 5 STAR FilmFreeway Testimonial: EXPERIMENTAL/DANCE/MUSIC Festival

Deadline Today to Submit to the Festival via FilmFreeway:

The Experimental, Dance & Music Film Festival provided a truly supportive experience for my project Demons. The communication was clear and professional, and the submission process was smooth and easy to navigate. I appreciated how the festival highlighted unique voices in poetry and experimental film, giving space for projects that might not fit into traditional categories.

It was exciting to see my work recognized and included, and I felt that the organizers genuinely cared about celebrating creativity and artistic risk-taking. This is a festival that values innovation and authenticity, and I would definitely recommend it to other filmmakers exploring experimental or cross-genre storytelling.

September 2025 ENVIRONMENTAL Film & Screenplay Festivals

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.

Submit to the Festival via FilmFreeway:

thank you so much for the award for best short film, ‘Our Sea Forest’ this was a film a few years in the making, that helped make real change, so it was very heartwarming to receive the lovely comments about the film. I am just sorry i couldn’t be there in person. I am sure the hospitality and networking would have been 5 *


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!


The entire event was impeccably organized, and the selection of films and screenplays presented was not only enlightening but also inspiring. It was evident that each piece was chosen for its powerful message and its potential to provoke thought and stimulate discussion regarding our environment and sustainability.


What truly stood out to me was the audience engagement. The feedback and reactions during the screenings were profound, reflecting a diverse audience deeply invested in environmental issues. This interactive aspect of the festival enriched the experience, providing invaluable insights and fostering a community spirit that was truly special.


Thanks from Paris for the best short film award we got for our film The Flood. Great festival, it’s so nice to get filmed feedbacks from the audience!
