Filmmakers around the world with projects on FilmFreeway can now submit their films for consideration on Short of the Week.

If you’re a longtime fan, you know that we put a lot of consideration into our submission process. We’ve worked to make submitting your film to Short of the Week a breeze with all the same great perks we offer on our own submission platform—low entry fee, fast response, and guaranteed viewing (if you’re looking for our Submission + Feedback option, we currently only offer that via our own submissions). FilmFreeway is about as simple as it gets—signup is free as is hosting your online screener.

The landscape of opportunities for filmmakers is changing rapidly—from funding to production to distribution. FilmFreeway is one of the companies at the vanguard. After just two years, they’ve overtaken incumbent, Withoutabox, to become the dominant festival submission platform for filmmakers, proving the age-old adage that if you’re not sprinting forwards, you’re moving backwards.
