Attention, film festivals and conventions, please read!
Hello people, thanks for taking the time to read this.
As "Craig" is now finished, we're searching high and low for conventions and festivals to submit it to - we're interested in everything from big festivals to small conventons.
Please note, that we are not interested in "invitations" from festivals that it turns out we have to pay submission fees for eventhough we were "invited".
