1st Scene Festival Testimonial – September 21 2018

1stscenescreenplay First Scene Script, Testimonials, Uncategorized , ,

I wanted to enter my script into festivals that offered a feedback option because I felt I was in a good place, but I felt it still needed polishing. I certainly didn’t expect to not only be selected but be a winning Screenplay either! The feedback I received was very helpful and I am applying the notes I was given to my newer drafts. I am very happy I submitted to this festival and I will do so again with any new scripts/screenplays in the future.

We also accept online submissions through Film Freeway. Click on the link BELOW to submit online through this middle-man resource website.

In the other festivals, the conversation is more about the storytelling – the plots and characters in the films we present. With the Animation & Experimental Festival the discussions lean more towards the thematics and overall points of the film. The subtext and emotions. How is…
