To understand the world of film, I researched different film festivals to see how they operate. I came across a couple interesting ones called "Screamfest Horror Film Festival" and "Drama International Short Film Festival".

Screamfest Horror Film Festival is a horror film festival founded in August 2001. It runs every year for 10 days in October. Their website is extremely easy to navigate as it is divided into simplistic sections. They have a specific section to submit your films so they can undergo review. Giving anyone a chance to have their horror film broadcasted in October. they have many famous pieces over the years. They are a non-profit organization that aims to launch small corporations and make them into something. Heres a couple famous pieces they have streamed.

Drama International Short Film Festival is an annual event that premieres drama short films from around the world. This festival makes eligible candidates for Oscars, including the "Best Animated Short Film". They have been collaborating with several short film producers for 47 years now. There are fees to submit your short film, however, it is also an easy process. Making a comfortable situation for those interested. Their top three drama short films of the moment are "Two One Two" by Shira Avni, "chicken" by Anna Benner, and "The Girl Who Walked On Snow" by Bruno Carnide.
