Basically fine but their data protection makes it not worth while.
At its core it is a good service. You can sign up for film festivals and generally the festivals are real. The issue lies with the fact you can barely unsubscribe from emails. Festivals can obviously email huge lists of emails and it doesn't matter if you unsubscribe from individual festivals because another festival can still email you. It is understandable if they're ones you've entered but they rarely are. Most recently I have received a ton of emails on an account for my own festival that hadn't even launched yet! I made sure to specifically unsubscribe from their emails but clearly they don't care. Support tells me they don't give out my email which I suppose is possible and that FILM freeway acts as a middle man so the third parties never actually see my email, but that is not really the point when my inbox is filling up with these useless emails. I have specifically been told by support I will no longer receive emails and since then (yesterday evening) I've received 4. I'm sure by the end of the day I'll have even more. Fully recommend using a throw away email with them. If this is their approach to your data, I would worry about all your other information too.
