In order to gain submissions all around the world for our short films program, we had to send out to all emerging filmmakers using the platform film freeway. This platform was in many ways easy but also a struggle to manage but as day by day passes its very fun to get used to. Film freeway gives us the ability to advertise a film festival from scratch for free to the world of film lovers all around the world. Its easy system helped us create an event description, awards and prizes, rules and term, website advertisements alongside with our social medias and even an easy understanding system that can be used to track deadlines and provide entry fees into the festival for submissions.

With the help of film freeway and our call for submissions which included our reasoning for running this film festival:

It was a delightful opportunity and outcome to see almost 50 submissions come through coming from a non-for-profit and first time film festival running out of $0- budget which surprised the whole team into motivation to advertise and judge these submissions with the help through social media and posters all around the campus and the CBD.

With our call for submissions, we wanted to show our audience what our true intentions were with the festival. Our call for submissions included our location, our agenda and what we were all about (Debuts) which was abruptly right to the point in a sharp sophisticated and professional way. With the help of our mission statement which cemented our point of view of inspiring filmmakers new and experienced, we grew an audience online with this website.
