REQUIRES ACTION! IMPORTANT!
Hello my Spring Wolves!
This may be a bit of a confusing message, but please bear with me and I hope you’ll understand soon what I require from you.
You are our early pool of entries for Spring 2021.
Within FilmFreeway we are still working in our 2020 season, the season will close soon and the system will provide us the option of creating our 2021 new season by simply updating all our dates and deadlines.
In this interface-switchover, whilst we’re going to be considering you for Spring and won’t have a final verdict for you until March. What will happen is that the system, upon closing the 2020 season, will automatically change your submission status to ‘Not Selected’ if we leave it marked as ‘Undecided’.
What I have been advised to do is to update your Judging Status and mark you all as a ‘Finalist’ and then inform you that you are still in consideration for the upcoming season.
Are you all following?
What I would like from all of you is to email me back individually letting me know that you understand this technical workaround within the FilmFreeway system, as we close 2020 and change our FilmFreeway interface to 2021.
What I will do, when you email me individually, is switch you to ‘Finalist’ within our 2020 interface, and then provide you a free waiver so you can submit your very same project into our 2021 interface once it’s ready.
This is so that in March we can update your final status correctly through the FilmFreeway 2021 interface.
Are you all following?
So, what I need from you? What do I need to do?
Step 1 - Email Adrian at adrian@lonelywolffilmfest.com confirming I understand we need to make the technical switch. Just email back saying 'Yes', simple.
Step 2 - Adrian will change your 2020 status to ‘Finalist’. All I need to do is ignore this notification.
Step 3 (optional) - Wait until Adrian makes the switch to 2021 on FilmFreeway, and he will send me a free waiver to send my very same project that I’ve already covered the submission fee for, so that it shows in Lonely Wolf’s 2021 interface, and the jury team can provide my final status correctly in March through the interface. I can do this so that I get my result synced officially or just have Adrian and his team email me in March and not bother having to resend it in under a free waiver. It's my choice.
I do apologise if this is going to be a little bit confusing. I hope I have explained it to a point that it’s easy to understand what we are doing.
It’s just a technical workaround.
I’ll await to hear from you all individually now and hopefully this is going to be a smooth process.
Thank you for your input.
I can’t wait to see how you all perform in the Spring and for you to experience Lonely Wolf, again for some of you, and for the first time for many of you.
Howl and out,
Owoooooooo!!
