    Seriously? Are they trying to keep it in business?

      Past Austin threads have always said "you don't want the letter." if you advanced it was an email.

        They've always sent snail mail rejection letters out to those who didn't advance at all and those who didn't make it past the second round. They personally call semi-finalists and finalists the same time the letters go out. Last year, I got only two letters in my mailbox and I submitted three scripts. I waited all damn day for that phone call!

          Redwriter, did you get your feedback from last year?

            hmmm...I remember getting it on my second-round script but I can't remember if I got feedback on my finalist script. I'd have to check.

              Just curious. To me, being a finalst is all the input you really need...

                My colleague was less than thrilled to receive the email. They did not advance to any of the rounds. It was a flat rejection.

                Like all of us, I think they were holding out hope for some sort of advancement.

                  OK, so we seem to have confirmation that rejections for at least some people have gone out via email (not USPS).

                  Has anyone else gotten a positive email or call?

                  Seems early given past history....

                    I don't think we have any confirmation at all... I'm
                    Not buying it.

                    Someone's just tying to stir up the boards if you look at the contest threads...

                    Carry on.

                      Alex, is your colleague sure it was Austin Film Festival? Who was the e-mail from? I think Matt Dy runs the competition this year. It does seem very early. I haven't heard anything but I'll post if I hear. I'm in Austin, too, so if letters go out in the mail and I get one (God, help me) I'll know fast.

                          I'm not trying to stir up the boards and NO my colleague did not get punked.

                          I'm not going to ask them who their rejection email came from because I don't see the point.

                          If people on this site refuse to believe me when I say I personally know someone who told me they were rejected, then there's nothing I can do about that.

                          Be grateful it wasn't YOU who received the rejection email which means YOU could still be in the running.

                          Not rocket science, people. Don't OVERthink it.

                              This morning this was posted on their wall.

                              Hey Losers! Heads up! We just sent out rejection emails to the sucky people!

                              They must have taken it down. Because, w00t! and Yay! must stay positive!
