    Back in May 2020 I had finished my final University Short Film, ‘Would You?’ and posted it onto Youtube. Having put so much effort and work into it I wanted to push it out further then I had with my previous ones and one way I did that was with https://filmfreeway.com/festivals I entered my short film into a tone of free/really cheap festivals and hoped for the best! I entered around 30 categories within 24 festivals and came out with 7 Laurels from ‘official selection’ to ‘finalist’. Doing this did help push out my film a bit more and made people notice it more purely because it had Laurels on it.

    If you do get any Laurels 100% put them on your posters and thumbnails because it presents a look that makes people want to click on your short film, poster, link etc. Will help push people to watch it.
