All right, if - and I do stress "IF" - this film finally gets completed, I have found some places to send it to for screening (some rather cool ones, BTW). Here is the list for consideration:

11.   The Zombie Short Film Festival – deadline October 1, 2011

I know this list seems all over the place, but I wanted to find some local (Buffalo and Rochester), some not so local (Atlanta), some internationally famous (Siggraph and Annecy), and some genre special (can you actually believe there is a "Drunken Zombie Film Festival?" And it's famous for finding distributors for the movies screened there!).

Making this list has helped to pump me up (especially finding the zombie film festivals). I think I might just actually get this thing finished after all.
