FilmFreeway is a popular platform for filmmakers to submit their projects to festivals and markets. One of its key features is the ability to organize your submissions and track your progress using lists. But knowing how to navigate and view those lists effectively is crucial. This guide will walk you through the process of accessing and managing your FilmFreeway lists.
Understanding FilmFreeway Lists
Before diving into how to view your lists, let's quickly recap what they are and why they're useful. FilmFreeway lists allow you to:
- Organize festivals: Group festivals based on deadlines, genre, fees, or any other criteria that's relevant to you.
- Track submissions: Keep track of which festivals you've submitted to and the status of each submission.
- Manage deadlines: Avoid missing important deadlines by keeping all relevant dates organized in your lists.
- Analyze your strategy: Review your submission strategy and identify areas for improvement.
Accessing Your Lists
There are several ways to access your FilmFreeway lists:
Method 1: Through the Dashboard
After logging into your FilmFreeway account, your dashboard will provide a quick overview. Look for a section dedicated to "My Lists" or similar; this section directly links to your saved lists. If you don't see it immediately, it might be tucked away under a menu option like "Submissions" or "My Account."
Method 2: Via the "Submissions" Section
Many users find their lists accessible through the "Submissions" section. Once you're in "Submissions," look for options to filter or view your submissions by list. This usually allows you to select and view a specific list.
Method 3: Using the Search Bar (for specific festivals)
If you're looking for a particular festival and remember which list you added it to, use FilmFreeway's search bar. Type in the festival's name; the search results might show its presence within a specific list.
