As we get ready for Transparent 3 (which will officially open June 1st), we just thought it would be a nice reminder to look at all the great selections from Transparent 2.
So these next few nights we'll run the selections, finalists and winners clips every other night.
Barring another pandemic, global power outage or alien invasion, Transparent 3 will take place in NYC at The Producer's Club Thursday April 8th through 10th. One of the programs will be The Winners From 2020.
Here's how it unfolded. Thanks again for you support.

THE WINNERS - AND WRAP UP
The judges have made their decisions. I will acknowledge my own favorites in another post.
There are 2 or 3 films across all categories that are worthy of "Winner" status. This is also true in all three Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress categories.
One fact is indisputable. Features carry more weight than shorts in the decision making process because it's harder to maintain excellence for a longer period of time.
We would love to see more features, as well as follow up episodes in the TV Pilot Category. We will be providing a waiver/discount code for filmmakers who submit a second episode to Transparent 3 (2021).
Over this next year, we will continue to build out our streaming channel (TransparentFilmFestival.com). It's a great time to join if you haven't already. So support us as we promote the best in True Indie.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
We have just had confirmation that New York City will not be reopening for "Phase 2" (meaning bars and nightclubs), before at best, June 15. Accordingly, that precludes us from putting on a live screening this year.
The winning films as well as Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress will be announced on the next episode of Transparent Film Festival Presents (Friday night May 8th) at 9pm EST.
A program will be added to Transparent 3 (April 2021) that will include the winners from Transparent 2 (this year's festival). All winners from Transparent 2 will be included at the Transparent 3 Awards Ceremony.
Let's hope these assholes don't find a way to kill us all before then. Keep making art... or die trying.

Just to give you an idea of what we’re dealing with on almost a daily basis.... An email from someone who hasn’t been following since October...
"...Have any films dropped out by any chance? We would love to screen. Has the festival been canceled? I’d still love to know why the movie wasn’t accepted. Between the 20 best picture awards we’ve already won and (they name drop a TV show) coming to an end and our lead actor being the star of (they name drop the same TV show) (and all over the media right now), I’m trying to understand the logic..."
Our response is this... Just so there’s no confusion...
We don’t care who you know, how many awards you won, how many people could “pack our screenings”, etc. We don’t need to explain our logic to you. We screen every film from beginning to end, let you know when we watched it and post screen grabs. The films make it to a second round and then go to our judges (who have Emmys and Grammys - one had an Oscar but he died), and they make the decisions not the festival organizers.
As far as when the finalists will be screened, that’s up to Governor Andrew Cuomo. If that doesn’t happen in May, we will do a show similar to the last one (The Finalists Episode), of Transparent Film Festival Presents the last weekend of May where we will announce the winners.
One final thought. Network Television sucks and all 5 of the TV Pilots in that category are just as good (if not better) than the show you referenced.
Nuff Said. Have a nice day.

We started The Transparent Film Festival because, as filmmakers, we were tired of getting ripped off. Ripped off by “film festivals” collecting submissions fees and sending us a form letter. In many cases, we weren’t even told whether we were accepted or rejected. Sundance (we’ll never bother with that again), had 13,000 submissions in 2018 and maybe a dozen people “to screen them”. Do the math. And factor in features. So our concept was, start a festival, get qualified judges, watch every frame and prove it by showing on Facebook that we watched your film and when, let the filmmakers know what we thought. Here are the best of the best, of the best. In some cases we’re still arguing (Best Short and Best Actress). We’ll keep you in the loop.

UPDATE: We have so much news we'd like to share, but we're so busy working that I'll just have to encapsulate a few items. 1. Just got this statistic (photo attached). While many film festivals talk a good game, we deliver. 2. The next episode of Transparent Film Festival Presents (Episode 26) will air Friday night at 9pm EST. The show will feature the two finalists in each category. We can tell you that the choices have been made in all film categories but the SHORTS category where there is an intense debate going on. In Bet Feature, Documentary, Mobile, Foreign, Performance, and Horror - we have narrowed the field. And it was hard!!!! 3. Episode 27 of Transparent Film Festival Presents (Bubble), will feature some of the films that could have easily been selected. They were that good. But we just couldn't select everyone. So this "Honorable Mention" show is for them. 4. We will. be announcing our first writing challenge with a Cash Prize for the winning submission. It involves finishing a script that was half finished. More about that soon.

2. The next episode of Transparent Film Festival Presents (Episode 26) will air Friday night at 9pm EST. The show will feature the two finalists in each category. We can tell you that the choices have been made in all film categories but the SHORTS category where there is an intense debate going on. In Bet Feature, Documentary, Mobile, Foreign, Performance, and Horror - we have narrowed the field. And it was hard!!!!
3. Episode 27 of Transparent Film Festival Presents (Bubble), will feature some of the films that could have easily been selected. They were that good. But we just couldn't select everyone. So this "Honorable Mention" show is for them.
4. We will. be announcing our first writing challenge with a Cash Prize for the winning submission. It involves finishing a script that was half finished. More about that soon.

Festival in full swing and we are definitely looking at which films have more complete views when determining winners. We have great analytics.
UPDATE SUNDAY NIGHT 12:15 EST
Transparent Film Festival 2020 is coming to a close.
We want to thank everyone for what will surely be a most memorable film festival. We screened every frame of close to 300 films, provided our notes and ratings, and chose the films we thought were the best of the best. Then, the Coronavirus.
We will leave the programs up until 11:59 pm PCT (Pacific) to accommodate all those great films from California and Vancouver.
Tomorrow (Monday), we'll send out an update as to what happens next. We will post here, as well as email everyone.
Again, great job to you all. When FilmFreeway.com as if you want to leave a review, we hope you will.

UPDATE SUNDAY NIGHT 9:30 EST
The numbers don’t lie. Very strong TV Pilots but o e is standing out. And our Judge Tim Russ has just sent in his comments.
“... ___________________ is my number 1 choice for the pilots.
It's clever, well shot, well edited, well acted and well paced.
Quite good!

UPDATE AS OF 10:30 EST
Virtually all of the interest seems to be in Programs 4 and 7.
UPDATE AS OF 4:30 EST
A marked increase in tickets being purchased with lots of views starting to come in. Definitely fascinating to watch from the backend!
Lots of great posts below below btw.

Guys it’s simple... click the button. Choose the program you want. Pay for your ticket.
One of the things we’re hearing back is how impressed each of you are - with EVERYONE ELSE that they’re competing against. We’ve given out comps to approximately half the filmmakers. The rest I guess don’t know or didn’t care.
We posted several months ago, that completing your film is only the beginning. Making money and being successful in the business, is a whole ‘nother thing. Interacting with and collaborating with others, learning and teaching others, attending screenings and the film markets and making connections, and so on.
If you think that people are just going to drop out of the sky and love your film, good luck. 😉 However, seeing the methods and techniques utilized by your fellow filmmakers, is alone worth the price of admission. The All Access Subscription for $25 (for a year!!!) is like a semester of film school. That’s how incredible these films are. And they are from all over the world. Especially the foreign films competition, it’s mind-boggling.
You can’t become a successful filmmaker in a vacuum.

IMPORTANT UPDATE
We want to thank all of our judges, techs and staff for helping us pull this off at this most difficult time. That's how much we honor all of you.
Several filmmakers have now received their comp to the program in which their film is screening. We have verified with several of you already that the process works. The comps are just that, for you. However, please understand we have excellent analytics.
Anyone trying to use a comp email login from multiple IP addresses, will have their access revoked - and their film removed from the competition.
It takes a lot of time to set this up, for each individual comp. This is why we aren't just automatically adding people unless they requested access. It would take more time than we have, especially with a skeleton staff due to the virus.
As we said in our email to all filmmakers, whose films are screening as part of the festival - YOU MUST REQUEST YOUR COMP BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT (EST - NYC Time).
Now for a bit of bad news.
A friend of the festival with whom some of us worked back in November, has died of the Coronavirus. So, there's that.
We will check in again just before the official start of the festival at midnight tonight and make sure every filmmaker who has requested a comp for their program, has one.

www.transparentfilmfestival.com
Filmmakers please take note:
1. We need your 1920 x 1080 compressed movs or mp4s no later than 5 pm Tuesday to be included in the festival (online). There will be no exceptions. We have to sequence several programs. Programs will be a mix of genres and will time at approximately 3 hours each.
2. Films that screen online will be given priority with respect to the live festival when scheduled. This means that we don't know what's going to happen in the future with the pandemic situation and what we're going to have access to in the future. However, those films that screen this weekend, will be given first consideration if and when the live festival is scheduled.
3. Films that screen online as part of the festival will be uploaded to TransparentFilmFestival.com. After the festival, all films selected and uploaded for the 2020 Transparent Film Festival will be promptly deleted UPON NOTIFICATION BY SUBMITTING FILMMAKER.
4. There will be two types of digital tickets available:
The first is per program and the second is for "ALL ACCESS" which will allow for the viewing of all festival content.
5. Each filmmaker taking part in the online festival will receive 1 comp to view the program in which their film is included. To receive your comp access, or if you have any questions at all, please email us at

IMPORTANT UPDATE
Filmmakers please read.
NYC has closed down. We will be most likely postponing the live screenings however, we will screen the selected films online on Friday Night April 3rd and Saturday Night April 4th at the same times as they would have screened.
This will also be the same order that they will screen not if, but WHEN we secure our new dates at the same venue - the Producers Club - which has been paid for in full.
We will also be able to screen additional films that deserve the selection laurels because they are that well produced, but wouldn't have been able to screen live due to time constraints. We were going to get a 3rd day, but then things changed in a hurry.
A good thing is that we will be able to screen more features instead of only when.
We will let you know about new dates (if indeed we need to postpone the live screenings) as soon as the danger from COVID-19 has passed. But for now, all entertainment venues in NYC are closed, and no public gatherings with more than 10 people are permitted. So it's out of our control.
THAT SAID.... we will be airing our Selections Special this Friday night right here on Facebook while doing watch parties with about 20 filmmaking groups at 8PM EST.
It's going to be a great show. Please all of you stay safe.

Part of being a successful filmmaker, goes beyond making the film.
It's taking advantage of opportunities when they present themselves, and of course being communicative as well as accommodating.
We are starting to notify filmmakers.
If we've reached out to you already and you haven't responded with what we've requested, your film will not screen.

NOTICE TO ALL FILMMAKERS:
The first selections have been announced.
We keep getting emails from some of you mistakenly thinking that your film has already screened, like in some online festival.
When we do a post about your film, with stills, and a screened on day and date, that is just the proof of our having watched (or “screened”), your film.
What sets us apart from every other festival (and why we are a top 100 festival on Film Freeway), is because we can document when we watched your film. If you want, you can cross reference with Vimeo or YouTube analytics for that day, so you can see we watched your entire film.
Generally, the more screen grabs, the more we liked your film. Though this is not always the case.
The festival itself is on Friday night, April 3rd, and Saturday night April 4 with a party after the Awards Ceremony.
Selections will first be announced on the Friday night March 20 episode of Transparent film Festival presents.
Lastly, if you’re not already, you may want to follow this page. Important information as well as announcements will be posted here especially as we draw closer to the festival.

Quick heads up. Memorialized here for all to see.
We've received about 1/3 of the downloads so far for the Live Event.
Some filmmakers who were chosen as finalists.... their emails bounced. Others who were chosen as finalists haven't acknowledged their status.
We're going to have a real short leash because everything is about putting on a show now.
Please get your download links at 1920x1080 with reasonable compression by the end of this week at the latest. We need to test on the screen.
If we don't have your downloads soon, we'll pivot to the Semi-Finalists.
