I'm a filmmaker who submitted to the 2024 New Media Film Festival because they've been around since 2009 and sounded credible. The festival claims there are judges from Simon & Schuster, ABC, HBO, MARVEL, EMMYS, PBS, BBC, Rolling Stone, Grammys, BMI & more. Everyone who enters automatically becomes a nominee who can win up to $45,000.00 In Awards. They claim to have won awards themselves: Film Festival of the Year 2021, 2022, 2023 Global Wire (Doesn't exist), Best Digital Festival - Lux Life Magazine (you pay this magazine to receive awards).

To be as brief as possible, I went to the festival, and it was a skeleton of what it claimed to be. I posted a review of the festival on their Film Freeway page and shortly received a very nasty response before the festival disabled reviews. Here's my review.

HARD PASS!!! The New Media Film Festival should be called the "Festival of Trailers."

I want to start by saying I WON Best Pilot at this festival, and I'm leaving a 1-star review! I have removed their laurel from my website and any mentionings of this festival on my social media.

You're going to be paying upwards of $86 to submit to a "festival" only to showcase your TRAILER!

After I was accepted, I was told that the NMFF will only be showcasing trailers for the pilot category. Once I arrived at the festival, I quickly realized that 98% of the "nominees" were also forced to showcase their trailers, which makes no sense because all of our trailers are already available for public viewing on YouTube or Vimeo. My 1-minute trailer was "projected" from Susan's laptop instead of the DCP of my 26-minute pilot. The whole point of film festival is to showcase your work in its entirety!

There aren't $45,000 worth of prizes! The only prizes are other nominee's "artwork" that isn't even meant to be printed on foam core. One person literally won the "festival's" hideous schedule that was printed on foam core!

The "press" you'll receive is only from completely unknown publications.

The "photographer" on the "red carpet" clearly wasn't a professional photographer and didn't understand proper composition when taking photos.

I will NEVER submit to this "festival" ever again. I would even dare to call this festival a SCAM!

I will happily forward the emails I have received from the festival director, Susan Johnston, since my review.
