Subject: Official Selection - BATSFF
Hi, Scott -Congratulations! "Master Hoa's Requiem" has been selected as an Official Selection into the 2015 Big As Texas Short Film Festival!The festival will take place in December 2015 in Austin, Texas.Hopefully you read through the (Yes, I know it's long) rules on FilmFreeway, because as it mentions - not all selections will be screened at the festival. We simply don't have the time in our debut festival to show every official selection.That DOES NOT mean we won't screen your film, I'm simply re-communicating our policy.As filmmakers ourselves, we feel like the more films we can accept and acknowledge, the better it is for everyone. We strive to screen as many as possible. This decision was inspired by a well-known international festival that accepts and awards many films, but only screens approximately 10% of its winners.A filmmaker's confirmed attendance at the festival will increase the chances of screening. Even though a film may win an award, if the filmmakers are not in attendance, it may not get programmed over an official selection with filmmakers in attendance.Your film will be eligible for nominations for its category as well as the craft categories. In addition, you are in the running for Best Texas Film. Those nominations will be sent out much closer to the festival date.
IIf you would please send a link to your trailer as well as a few high res photos, a press kit and a link to a 1080p (or higher) download (Dropbox, vimeo, etc) of the film, I will send the laurels right away..We may also ask that you send a DVD copy closer to the festival.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
I look forward to hearing from you,In the meantime, please like our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter!
