Congrats on getting the festival started!
 
Thanks Indie. And may I add, thanks to so many members of this board who shared their ideas and experiences on what makes a good festival. You're all invited to Connecticut in October. :)
 
I can't find the fees. I looked on the site, and on the PDF.
 
I know, I know... we seem to have had a fee schedule and deadline malfunction :no: Hopefully it will be fixed within a day. However, if you just can't wait, here's the info: Early Bird: March 31, $30; Regular: May 31, $35; Late: July 15, $40. These submission fees are for features, docs, world cinema & animation. For the short and student categories, the same deadlines apply however the submission fees are reduced by $5. Withoutabox users receive an extended late deadline as well as a $5 discount on all of the above fees.

Hope that helps
