Hi all, we are making a documentary on Scam Festivals, we are interested in information and stories about festivals that are scamming young filmmakers.

Recently we have come across a company that runs 4 festivals. The owner and director of the festivals recently nominated himself for 6 of the top awards for his own film. Guess what? He won all 6 nominations!

This is totally unacceptable as many hundreds of filmmakers paid fees to have their film considered for awards only to be chucked in the bin and not even looked at. This is fraud; there is no other word for it. These and festivals like them are the kind of festivals that needs to be shut down as a matter of some urgency

Has you entered your film into a festival you suspect of fraud, do you know of any fraud fests or anyone involved in such fests. We need detailed information about scam festivals in all countries. We also need legit festivals directors and programmers to come forward and give interviews and support this documentary

Contact or e mail ASAP on details below
