Preaching to the Converted

I fully recognize that this post may just do nobody any good. I want to take just a moment and say a little something about the site Withoutabox.

Chances are if you have written a screenplay or made a movie that you already know about the site, but, in case you do not, I wanted to mention it.

I love this site because it addresses the biggest problem with the web: too much information and too few means to help sift through this information. Withoutabox is a dream come true for filmmakers looking to submit their work to film festivals (and I believe much more now) by streamlining the submission process and providing information about hundreds of film festivals all over the world. Think of it like one-stop shopping for those interested in finding new festivals, a place to learn the submission guidelines and costs for submitting to these festivals and a site that allows you to monitor all of the submissions you have made.

What they have done is made it so you can spend a lot more time doing the important work concerning your film and much less time jumping through the submission hoops. These people deserve our thanks and some hot oatmeal cookies.
