>>4406825im not even sure which festivals are the legitimate ones. They all seem to be email scams. The main film festival in my state is legitimate though and ive always wanted to enter it but being a neet i have no money to hire actors. I think your problem could be resolved by networking with people, i once matched with a lady on a dating app that somehow worked in the tiny ass film industry here and she got me into her casting agency but then we stopped talking for some reason. The point is networking though, many people get in through sheer clout but for others its getting your picture seen by the right eyes. Weinstein would never of hired Devine but Devine only needed John Waters. The right people will be the right matches
