Film-makers must wake up to the scam that is film festivals.
700 x entry fees at $ 40 for the privilege of making a commissioned work for Tropfest, with film makers consuming thousands of dollars in value of labour and equipment use just for an empty promise. On top of that you sign away up all your rights to the organisers. How crazy is that? There is no assurance that the film has even been viewed and if so by who and on what criteria.. Just look critically at Withoutabox. Tropfest just seems to be about the self aggrandisement and promotion of its organisers.
Even Sundance has been accused of not even having enough physical time available to look through entries.
