Spent $700 with these bums at FilmFreeway.
Out of 12 film festivals I applied to, I only heard back from 4.You would think the 8 other film festivals would have been gracious to at least say they were passing, right? They took our $50 bucks and laughed their way to the bank.
AVOID applying to film festivals. If your film is any good, just email the festival director and send them the film with NO APPLICATION FEE.

Probably Great If You’re A Festival
Reviewed on 2020-12-16T19:35:46
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!

Outstanding Customer Service
Reviewed on 2020-11-04T16:40:36
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.

Complete crap company
Reviewed on 2020-07-10T23:39:05
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.

Scam company, don't use it
Reviewed on 2020-07-09T21:40:56
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.

Basically fine but their data protection makes it not worth while.

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
Reviewed on 2020-01-11T22:45:19
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
