Hey guys, I?d love some advice from some people who are more a bit more tech savvy than me. I?ve just finished a low-budget feature film and have submitted to a bunch of festivals. I?d love to find out who is and isn?t actually watching the full film (getting cynical after much research).

I?ve found some helpful threads about how to track this, and have deleted the version uploaded directly to FilmFreeway, and have now uploaded a link to my Vimeo. I have Vimeo Plus and have worked out how you find the URL of the viewers, and how you can track that to the festival source URL. BUT, having seen that a FilmFreeway URL has watched an impressive 46% of my film (?/projects/XXXXX?), I?d love to find which festival this is so I can check whether they watch the rest of it, before asking for my money back. However the source URL doesn?t seem to link to any festivals on my submission page. I think the Vimeo URL links straight to my video, so what am I doing wrong? Is it because the video is embedded? Is it okay if I don?t embed the video- will festivals still watch my film, even though FilmFreeway says you do have to embed it? As far as I gather the Vimeo URL should read '/submissions/XXXXX' in order to find the festival. Quite sad that it?s come to this kind of thing and how corrupt it all seems, but what can you do. Any advice would be really appreciated!
