I had submitted Butterflies to twenty different film festivals. A pretty good mix of children's film festivals and "regular" big festivals. Slowly I have been getting emails back, either accepting or rejecting the film.
This evening I got a rejection email from AFI Fest. They had over 3000 entries and only 140 slots to fill.
These festivals are so competitive and different, that it's hard to even guess when you really have a chance at a given festival.
But even though that is the case, and you just never know what kind of mood the selection committees are in, it just doesn't change the fact that getting accepted is exciting and getting rejected is a little disappointing.

Yes, my mom used to tell me if a "bum" on the street rejects us by being rude...it still hurts.
Then we just need to reflect on who we are.... other people don't define us. It is nice to have support though. But there are too many bullies out there who bully because they are bullied and battered.
Oh, for a kind word.
