    Re: Austin Film Festival 2011

    Is the letter a real letter (in the mail) or an email?

      It's kind of a unique notification procedure. If I remember correctly from last year, at about the same time (very end of August / very beginning of September), (1) postal letters are mailed to those whose scripts did not advance at all; (2) postal letters are mailed to those whose scripts advanced to the Second Round (Top 10%), but failed to go any further; and (3) phone calls are made to those whose scripts advanced to the Semifinals and are still alive in the competition.

        More succinctly, as others previously have summed up here: letter = bad; phone call = good :-)

          Well in that case I don't even have to check the mail.. if I don't get a call then I'll just keep moving right along.

            Nu? Any calls, any letters? I got a call from someone at 3 am asking for "John." Was that the secret code?

              Got a rejection letter yesterday. So un-fun to come home to.

                So do the calls come before or after the letters?

                  Calls come after letters, and I believe the Semifinalists will be posted on their site late tonight. I live in Austin so I probably get the letter a little quicker than some will. Good luck!

                    I wish they just posted it online like Page and then for the finals make the calls. There are just so many entrants waiting for a handful of spots and the wait is agonizing.

                      So, it has begun ...

                      The system does seem to be especially designed to be nerve-wracking. I'd be surprised if they had Semifinalists posted online by the end of the day; I think it took them significantly longer than that last year.

                        This just in from Austin on Facebook:

                        Second Rounders and Semifinalists will be posted on their site today.
                        Matt is calling the Semifinalists right now.

                        Good luck, everyone!

                          I made the 2nd Round. Is that good?
