Applying to an in-person festival but only getting accepted to their online portion.
I applied to the Playa Film Festival in Aruba and was thrilled to get an acceptance, only to read that it is only for their online website portion, not the in-person. (On Film Freeway I did not see anything about an online portion.) If I participate, my narrative short would be online for a weekend. My intuition says NOT to accept because I want to be more strategic about the first time my short film is online with unrestricted access. Any thoughts out there? I did reply to the festival that I don't take acceptances lightly and would let them know shortly....
