Although it didn't make their 2023 official selection, the Oscar and BAFTA qualifying Flickers' Rhode Island International Film Festival 2023 has named our short film "YOU'RE OUT" as a semi-finalist after it made it past the first round and was highly rated by festival judges.
What does this mean?
"Despite our final decision, we try our best to make sure great work and talented filmmaking do not go unnoticed, which is why we've listed your project as one of this year's Semi-Finalists for the 2023 Flickers' Rhode Island International Film Festival. This year's selection process was a very difficult one given our number of entries and their incredible quality.
Your film was highly rated by our judges, and made it past our first round of adjudications towards acceptance. While your film will not be featured as part of this year's Official Program at RIIFF 2023, it will automatically be considered for future programming initiatives throughout the coming year. Whether it is part of our Roving Eye International Film Festival, our weekly PBS television series "doubleFEATURE," or part of our annual Vortex Sci-Fi Fantasy and Horror Film Festival, there are a number of festival screenings and events we produce for which your film will be considered in the months to come."
A much nicer thing to receive than some of the many standard rejections we've had!
