    Re: Austin notification timeline

    Still waiting on my one-hour pilot. I'm not expecting much, if anything. Best I've ever done is the second round. And I'm not entirely convinced that Austin really helps your career like the network fellowships or Nicholl.

    Anyway, if one does make the semis, that means you're in contention to be a finalist, right?

      That's right-- I think they announce the finalists (which for comedy and drama pilots, I think is Top 5 instead of Top 10) around the end of the month.

      Pretty sure this is right for the initial notifications, though some second rounders do eventually get called by the marketing department trying to convince them to go the festival.

            And I know of two writers who got the semis call today, so that's at least one more.

            Also, @austinfilmfest just tweeted this today:

            "We're still rolling out notifications over the next few days. Thanks for your patience as we get through all submissions!"

            So that might mean they may not be done by tomorrow as originally scheduled...

                    Just got a dink email too for my drama feature. Haven't heard about my other two but my drama was probably the strongest of the three I submitted.


                    I hope some of you guys have better news soon. I'll probably still go as I'm in Austin and some of my peeps are going for sure.

                      Has anyone else not heard back yet? I can't go through another day of obsessively checking my email

                          Can confirm, I got my Second Rounder letter and email (the letter actually came before the email) early last week, then they called me on Sunday to see if I wanted to know "what it means to go to the festival as a Second Rounder."

                          Anyway, this was an early draft I submitted because I wanted a hard deadline, so I'm excited to see if it does better next year after a proper rewrite.

                            Anyone have any luck registering for the Second Rounder round table sessions?

                            By the time I tried (about 10:15) they were both already full.

                              if there is a Roundtable that you really know you want to attend, just go to the room ahead of time for the stand-by line. they almost always make room for additional folks (at least they did when i was a Second Rounder)

                              it's a bit of luck of the draw in either case because no matter which table you pick, they don't rotate panelists fast enough to get all of them to every table during the time allotted

                                Nope. I'm in the same boat. Ironically, this year some of the general panels have the same or better info. Not so in the past. I feel so special (rolls eyes...).
