Hi Directors! Does anyone have insight/experience with this festival? It runs throughout the year. They are going to give me a live screening but they also want to stream it for 8 days online. I’m a little cautious about where to give up my premiere and when to allow it to stream. It’s a short film so I think it matters less but it matters somewhat! Love to hear feedback about this and anyones experiences of how much holding out a premiere and streaming a short. Thx!

Is this the one? https://filmfreeway.com/NewFilmmakersNY - they've been running for 26 years and the online streaming offers a wider audience. I guess it depends who you want to reach out to - I don't see them mentioning agents/producers being involved, so if this was the reason you submitted, it might be worth asking about that. They do give you control over your film, I like how they lay it all out in the description.If you are on Clubhouse, there is a film festival organiser on there who might be able to give you some insight into the NY festival: Mikel Fair, he is in the Filmmakers Network, and they did a Q&A on Film Festival Strategy - https://www.clubhouse.com/room/xpoQL2GO?utm_medium=ch_room_xerc&utm_camp...
