Dear Greg,
Thank you for submitting your film to the Woods Hole Film Festival. After receiving a record number of submissions this year and a very long reviewing process, it pains me to tell you that we are not able to include it in the program this year.

Please know that your film was carefully considered by our programming team, and all the decisions were incredibly difficult, to say the least.

I truly apologize for the generic nature of this message. I wish I could write to everyone personally and thank them. But I do sincerely thank you for sharing your work with us. We wish you the best of luck on your festival run and in all your filmmaking endeavors. Your work is more important than ever, and we hope to have the opportunity to see more of it in the future.

Sincerely,
John Gamache, Associate Director
Woods Hole Film Festival

Dear Greg,
Thank you for submitting your project to the 17th annual Burbank International Film Festival. Unfortunately, we are not able to include it in our program this year.
The selection process is always difficult. Please know that your project was carefully considered by our programming team. 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 and we're grateful you submitted to our festival; we appreciate all your hard work. We wish you the best of luck, and we hope to have the opportunity to view more of your work in the future.

We would still be delighted to have you join us at the festival as an attendee. It's a fantastic opportunity to connect with other filmmakers and industry professionals, and we believe you'll find it to be a valuable and enriching experience.

We hope to see you there!

Sincerely,
Anna Maybury
President
