I know why the film was rejected!

This article is very useful to anyone who wants to submit a film to a festival. Because of my experience with Vision last semester, I feel like I knew most of this information already. From jurying the submissions we received, I realized firsthand what it's like to sit through a poorly-scripted or edited film, and I subconsciously absorbed what not to do from watching it. Because our screening was so short, I also know that the shorter the film, the more likely it is to be accepted. Even more frustrating, I know that your film may not be accepted even if it follows all this advice, simply because of the volume of entries received. While I lived a lot of this article first-hand, I think it is a great resource for anyone just starting out with film festivals.
