Judging all of the films we receive can be daunting but we strive to give every film we receive the same treatment and a fair shake. We have 7 judges and all of the judges must watch every film before we make the decisions on which films made it and which didn’t. We still have some films to go through but we are preparing to announce the films and are hopeful that we will be able to do so on Friday April 6. So if you are a filmmaker who submitted a film look for an email from us sometime on Friday.
