PS. I once entered a festival that only accepted a certain amount of entries and cut off all entries sent after a specific deadline. This may be a way towards a solution. I would like to know how many films I am competing with. If a festival allows 2700 entries, such as Ann Arbor, I never would have submitted my work.
I would have taken the $40 entry and bought lottery tickets were I stand a better chance of winning.
