All Hallow's Fest Viewing Now Open

Also you have to remember that this fest opened on a Tuesday, so a lot of people probably haven't had a chance to watch a lot. I haven't. I'll watch every one of them and give my comments. But I probably won't finish until this weekend.

Almost 40 films, too. Hang in there.
 
It would be great if everyone voting would take the time to watch every film before casting a ballot. IMO, that's the only fair way to do it.

I think it was DramaFest where I was totally blown away by a film I hadn't heard any comment on, and there was nary a review on it either. I rarely comment on the films just because I'm a harsh blankety-blank, but I said something positive on this guy's pic, and I guess that started some notice and he ended up placing in the top 3, I think. Maybe not, don't remember, but things really turned around once someone said how fabulous his pic was.

So marketing is your responsibility, you need to make sure people are aware of your pic. Pre-fest hype works (see Movie Master) ;) and be sure to ask people specifically for their opinions and if they'll write you reviews. There are some (like Kholi and Brandon) who attempt to give a detailed review of every pic. Sometimes you won't like what they say, but getting people talking about your film is one way to get more people watching it.
 
Good call Barry...

I've watched every film more than once, and I have voted... now I am working on getting reviews in for each and every one... just about halfway there
 
First time voting. Really hard to grab three from the bunch.
Congrats to all the filmmakers, greta material out there.
 
I watched everybodie's films before I voted. And ended up watching them all again once I did my reviews. I didn't enter this time to really win. I just wanted to do a fun short film and get into a fest.
I did a short film for ON THE LOT last year and really had fun with that.
That film was much more involved and actually had real actors and crew.
I just wanted to throw this one together myself for fun and join the fest!

I'm going to start bumping each new film up a notch as I enter each fest.

So get ready for more fun!
