New deadlines added

Hi all!
It has been a while since I have written a gargantuan post of newly added festival deadlines, so here it is. I hope all is going well for everyone in the new year. I have gotten such great comments and responses from festival directors and filmmakers over the past year, so thank you! I have been told that this site generates an outpouring of quality films, so thank you to the filmmakers! There have been festivals that have experienced growth and started kickstarter campaigns after postings on my site, which I find very exciting.

A belated new year wish to all!

best of luck,
