7. Sunset Film Festival. May 16-17, 2015 (Hollywood, CA). Lots of films are rejected at film festivals. One of the reasons is that there are too many submissions. Producing a film is one thing. The next step is submitting your film to film festivals. Then you realize that nothing is really happening. The Sunset Film Festival is different. Giving filmmakers and screenwriters the opportunity to be noticed is their priority. ( (http://www.sunsetfilmfestival.com/)
