Angeles Doc Fest Wrote Wrote:Dear Greg,
Thank you for submitting your project to the Angeles Documentaries. Unfortunately, we are not able to include it in our program this time.
Since 2016, we reviewed more than 1700 documentaries, made by filmmakers from all walks of life.
Making a documentary is a journey of discovery and education. We apply the same perspective to our documentaries competition.
We wish you the best for your festival run and screenings, and we hope that in a while, you may send your next film to us for consideration.
Thank you again for sharing your work.
Sincerely,
Angeles Documentaries

Thank you for submitting your project to the Spark Of Madness Film Festival. Unfortunately, we are not able to include it in our program this year.
Please know that your project was carefully considered by our programming team, and the decision was incredibly difficult to say the least. Unfortunately, not all of the wonderful projects we consider can be included, and we are forced to make many difficult decisions each year. 
Thank you again for sharing your project with us. We wish you the best of luck, and we hope to have the opportunity to view your work in the future.
Sincerely,
Spark Of Madness Film Festival

Dear Greg,
From an intensely competitive field of submissions from filmmakers across the globe, your project has triumphed — setting itself apart through sheer creative force and artistic excellence. Reaching SEMI-FINALS at the 2026 AREA51 Underground Film Contest marks you as part of an elite vanguard of filmmakers who dare to push the boundaries of conventional cinema.
An important note: these are our April 1st preliminary results, and this is an indication that our jury has pre-selected your project through to the semi-finals. There are two more classification periods ahead. The final stage is September 30th — that is when you will find out whether your project progresses onto official nominations and/or wins, and when our official website listings will be published. Consider this a well-deserved signal to help with the wait.
Congratulations.
