Snap your fingers and it's upon us. Yes, the dreaded final entry postmark deadline for the 2008 Florida Film Festival hits this Friday, November 30. With programming decisions getting made beginning in early January, it's imperative that all submissions are received in our office by the end of the first week of December. This gives our committees just enough time to get through everything in a thorough and organized manner.

So if you're one of the thousands to recently hear about not getting in to Sundance (I'm sorry about that), do not despair. The life of your film has not ended before it even got started--there are plenty of wonderful regional festivals eager to preview your work that can do great things for both you and your film. But this particular one needs you to send in your submission pronto. Good luck--we look forward to seeing your artistic creations (soon).
