Why Great Films Get Rejected at Festivals — And How to Fix It
Update: 2025-05-05
Description
Why do great films still get passed over by festivals?
In this episode, I talk with Alex Lee, director of Oscar-qualifying Doc Edge, about the real reasons programmers reject submissions — even great ones. We dive into what most filmmakers miss: how your press kit, title, stills, and even your tone can make or break your chance.
This isn’t about selling out — it’s about communicating your story well enough to be noticed.
