Hi all-
The following festivals were submitted to my noentryfeefests blog. Starting with the Black Bx, I want to mention that I have noticed an increase in “online festivals”. As I post any type of venue or screening and support all types of presentation, I mention it so that you take notice if you are only interested in live screenings and/or aren’t ready to have your work presented online. (Some online festivals do not require an upload of the work, some are judged offline and have a monthly contest, the winners of which are presented in a live screening, it really varies).
as always… best of luck,
