[Sentenza]

**Waves @FD97 ** Will it be as fun as last year tho....lets see ...

Nice to see you're back as well haha

 

[Sentenza]

Good luck to everyone applying this year (especially maxitos! and forum friends from last year) I'm not applying this year as I don't think my heart can take another NFTS rejection and I haven't got a new project that they haven't seen. But will be back on the forum next year hopefully with a new project or two to apply with. Good luck!!

Oh hi there

Yeah I got it last week, but don't worry, last year I got it at the end of May.

Mine has also been sent to the selection panel now but they haven't watched my film yet.

It takes some time, last year they watched my film a couple if weeks after it was flagged as "with the selection panel". Best thing to do is sit tight and be patient, most people didn't get a rejection until the interviews were completed last year. Might be different this time around but Directing Fiction especially gets a large number of applicants.

Oh I see, thanks everyonne! Based on previous years, around what time would they send out interview invites?

Probably mid/late June, but things can vary year to year.

Any lucky people got an interview? Should be coming soon I think
