This is quickly turning into a complete waste of resources and money. 1 out of over 20 “not selected” festivals will explain why your film wasn’t selected. I don’t think many of the films make it to a human. I could understand this for Sundance, etc, but particularly short film festivals and monthly’s. They should be able to communicate why your film didn’t make it. Many don’t even send you a courtesy email, and the ones that do are automatically generated and totally impersonal. For the fees of some these festivals, this is petty and lame and clearly a scam. Good luck!

The site was very easy to use, but the most impressive aspect of this company was the team behind it. I have never interacted with such polite and friendly people before. They were so willing to answer every question I had and always in a pleasant manner, no matter how silly or obvious. They really helped me a lot and made the whole process easy and relaxed. Outstanding customer service.

Filmfreeway showed that they are willing to listen to their customers issues and amend them. They initially set my festival as non-public but after me explaining how they have misunderstood my company they were able to set it as public

Complete crap company, they have a list of requirements to make you’re festival public I did everything on the list and they still denied me. Not sure the policy or politics behind this company but after reading the reviews glad they didn’t.

This company is scam. We had the festival for three years in their archive, without a reason, they closed the account, took the users' money. We have to stop the competition because the works were lost. We made the complaint and everything is documented and the users can to witness it. Not recommended.

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.

Very scam company. We have used this platform for 2 years, they have used our image to take users' money. When we registered another festival, they asked us for money, and we didn't refuse and they closed both accounts, creating big problems for the various participants and for our organization. We have also sent all the press information on our events supported by the institutions, but we have not solved anything. We filed a complaint with the Canadian police and reported it to the Embassy, these scams cannot be suffered. We do not recommend using it if you do not want to lose your money and damage the image

One problem with FilmFreewqy is that they don't announce upfront the location of the festival. You have to scratch around to find out. How can you pick what festivals to enter and attend if they don't tell you WHERE they are.
