Get Feedback

Every filmmaker who submits to the Dublin Smartphone Film Festival will receive direct feedback on their work if they request it. Not a form email. Not a generic “thanks for entering.” Actual notes on what worked, what didn’t and why.

Making a film and hearing nothing back is disheartening. We know that. So, every submission gets seen, considered and responded to properly.
