There are now more than 2000 film festivals world wide, and the number grows each year. Festivals used to be free. Most now charge for entry - anything from $10 to $50. Those that encourage mass applications may merely have found a lucrative way to finance their festival. Be warned, and be aware that research is the key to finding the right festival for your short film.
www.withoutabox.com is a good place to start. This US based site facilitates registered members to apply to festivals online. Members can make as many applications to festivals as they wish (they still have to pay the entry fee, but Withoutabox acquires discounts at many festivals).
At Withoutabox, film-makers can track their submission status, find fests that fit the film, even get email reminders for upcoming festivals. There is a message board for film-makers to network, and an online guide for creating a Press Kit. Follow the link to see the PRESS KIT for Greta May.
