Well, if Boston wasn't up to disappointing me, Monmouth sure was. Oddly, Monmouth wasn't the film festival I was supposed to hear from today. But the day is young.

Dear Greg,
Thank you for submitting your project to the 2026 Monmouth Film Festival.
After careful consideration by our programming team, we regret to share that we are not able to include your project in this year’s official lineup. This was not an easy decision, as our team reviewed a strong and diverse pool of submissions, and narrowing it down is always incredibly challenging.
That said, the Monmouth Film Festival is more than just a screening platform, it’s a three-day experience designed for filmmakers at every stage. We’d love for you to still join us May 29–31 at Bell Works in Holmdel, NJ, and be part of the community!
Throughout the weekend, we’ll be hosting networking events and industry mixers, live Q&As and filmmaker conversations, as well as free educational panels and workshops led by working industry professionals. It’s a great opportunity to connect, collaborate, and support fellow independent filmmakers, while gaining insight into the craft and business of filmmaking.
We appreciate you sharing your work with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to consider your projects again in the future.
Sincerely,
Monmouth Film Festival
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
