below is what is to be the last of the festival rejection (oops, i mean "non-inclusion") emails/notices i am to recieve for the first try at submitting to festivals. i tried, local, coastal, inland, and international festivals, and it seems unanimous, my work is not good enough.
i suppose i cannot help but feel bad for my work, but it helps stave off the pangs of multiple rejection. some questions come to mind:
what could i have done better?
was it really that bad?
was it so good, it would've overthrown the rest of submissions?
what did they really think of it?
and then i notice a blazing similarity in these questions of film festivals, and relationships at the end of their life.
but whateve, i cannot stop being a filmmaker, so onward ho!
or something optimistic like that.

Dear filmmaker,
We sincerely apologize for these delayed notices, and thank you for submitting your work to the 11th Annual NY Underground Film Festival.
Unfortunately, the NY Underground Film Festival will not be able to accommodate a screening for you in 2004. Our Festival Selection Committee viewed close to 1400 film and video entries, decisions were extremely difficult, and many examples of excellent work did not make the final cut.
Thank you for considering the NY Underground Film Festival, and we sincerely look forward to seeing work from you in the future.
Sincerely,
Kendra Gaeta
Festival Director
Ed Halter
Executive Producer
