We have submitted LEVEL ZERO to the following Film Festivals.  The closest one is Action/ Cut Film Festival which has some pretty incredible prizes as well as contacts in the industry if you win, so we had to give this one a shot!  Zero Film Festival had a requirement that this was a self funded movie and since this was I thought it would be appropriate!.  Slamdance happens during Sundance in Utah and really focuses on new and upcoming filmmakers.  It would be an honor to be selected to any of these.  Finally Cinequest was selected since I was there and worked with Cinequest last year and what I saw was an incredible energy surrounding every film that was screened, the people that put this festival together are inspiring and incredibly helpful!  Wish us luck in the coming year as we look forward to the results on whether we are selected later this year!
