FilmFreeway

FilmFreeway is a website for filmmakers to submit their films to hundreds of film festivals globally. Started in Canada in 2014 as a four-person startup, it steadily grew in competition to the much larger Amazon-owned company, Withoutabox.

Until that time, Withoutabox had a virtual monopoly on the digital film festival submission process. With the closing in September 2019 of Withoutabox, FilmFreeway became the default tool for the worldwide film festival submissions process.

FilmFreeway was acquired by Backstage (magazine) publication and entertainment-industry portal in September 2021.
