  • Austin notification timeline

    What as the timeline for AFF notifications been in the past?

    The website FAQs say:

    Letters will be sent by mid September for those in the First Round and also to those that advance to the Second Round (top 10%). Semifinalists will receive a phone call by early September as well.

    But I seem to recall getting a letter before Labor Day in the past.

    In the past, they've rolled out over Labor Day weekend. Maybe it's different this year.

      Re: Austin notification timeline

      If memory serves me correctly, in 2014 I received a phone call on the Thurs or Friday before Labor Day weekend regarding making semifinals.

        Their email newsletter says they'll notify by the 15th but I have a friend who is a reader who is still reading batches of scripts so I'm not sure how they're gonna stick to that. This is my first year submitting and I submitted two scripts so I do hope they start rolling them out this week.

          Anyone else have the disturbing thought that someone posting in this thread that they got a phone call could troll us so hard right now?

          Or was that just me?

            Got this today -

              If any of you make it to the next round are you planning to attend?

                If twitter is to be believed, the notifications have started going out:

                Keep in mind that the announcement sent out yesterday said the notification process would take several days, so no need to freak out yet if you haven't heard from them...

                  My Android phone has this funny quirk where sometimes the phone rings when nobody's calling. Happened three times this afternoon, alone.

                  I think you can guess my current opinions on this quirk.

                      Aw man, for once I don't want to get an email from Austin!
                      Best of luck to everyone, hope somebody gets a nice call!

                            Got my second-rounder email today for my TV pilot. Yay! But also, boo. Still waiting to hear back on my short film script.

                            Heads up: The email went into my Gmail "promotions" box instead of regular ole' inbox. Only saw it because I was doing some fall cleaning.
