So very useful to have this information. It's common sense but yet these things can be easily forgotten. Thank you!

[@melless89]

This is incredibly helpful! Especially for new filmmakers who self-funded their films, it´s really important to have some help when it comes to festival submissions. Thanks a lot

[@rosalinddaypatterson]

Thank you Mr. Fair. For a new low budget filmmaker, this is valuable information!

Does film waiver or film waiver code mean that you won't pay any fee at all(free)?

[@MikelFair]

Film festival submission waiver requests are usually for the full amount. But it's a very smart strategy to ask film festivals for partial waivers. This allows filmmakers and screenwriters to save money on submission fees, but still invest in the film festival submission process so that film festivals can still grow and pay bills. My humble advices: The next time you communicate with a film festival, as for a promo code discount instead of a 100% waiver.

@@MikelFair why not asking for a 100% waiver?

[@MikelFair]

As explained in the video, asking for a 100% fee waiver is fine. As a film festival director, we can't evaluate submissions for free and still run a business. But we do offer great discounts. @@Met9171
