  We had a blast screening out short film “Tsehai” at HollyShorts Monthly Screenings! The festival was very organized and intentionally created. Also, the programming team was so kind and welcoming. Great networking opportunity. Such a wonderful experience, thank you HollyShorts team!!

  It's an honor to have my film screened in Hollywood. This will give me a lot of courage to continue to create. Thank you for your choice!

  I was notified by film freeway last October that my short was selected... but since then, despite numerous emails, phone calls and FB messages, I have not heard a peep out of the film festival as to when it will screen. It's now been four months - and films are screening, just not mine. All I can see is when they list them on their website once a month. The communication from these folks is terrible. I've heard from other filmmakers that they are in the same boat I am. My last hope is that they see this terrible review and try and contact me. But something tells me they won't. If this review gets them to black-ball me, so be it. This is very disrespectful to the filmmakers.

  I received the notification of being selected with my short Blood and Ash, it was an honor to me, BUT no staff contacted me afterwards. I sent several emails asking about my film selection , about programming , but nothing happened. My film was selected but not programmed at any screening. Highly disappointed with Hollyshorts and their lack of communication.

FilmFreeway reviews are filmmaker opinions, not our score. Cross-check red flags before paying fees.
