Festivals and Difficult Decisions

Got another official rejection from a top 10 festival today. On the plus side, the film was invited to the 'online' component of this major fest. But you know, I don't really want the film to premiere online. I want it to have a theater premiere. I think it deserves that.

So, I turned down the online fest yesterday.

Then today, the official rejection from the main festival came in. I knew it was coming, of course. By getting into the online fest, I knew was automatically out of the main fest.

But it still hurts a little.
