I definitely know what you mean, John. We've accepted electronic submissions in the past, due to extenuating circumstances, but we generally like having the physical copies just because it makes it easier for us to keep things organized. -LJ On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 2:44 PM, John Woods wrote: >>Ad

Hey Jonathan, I've had to have my father in the U.S. mail me a hard drive and it was not a huge deal. Depending on your budget/amount of data, you may want to use a solid-state drive to mail (so physical shock won't be an issue). I used FedEx and had no problems with them. Good luck! RW On Wed,

I don't really understand what the big regret is, Mike - the festival was free to submit to. Was that the only copy of your film or something? If so, I can see about sending it back to you if you could send me some money to cover postage. -LJ On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 11:56 AM, mike rice wrote: > I
