WORK SMARTER
Why put all your eggs
in one basket?
FestNest is the first truly customized film review and selection platform that has been engineered from the ground up by people in your shoes — festival organizers with decades of combined knowledge and expertise.
FestNest is built on a few simple tenants:
When all of your information is in front of you, decisions are clear.
A single submission source does not give you the widest variety of films to choose from.
It is better to work smarter than harder.
FestNest allows your organization to bring all of your data into a single system—with a single click, and gain insights from reviewers in a straight-forward, easy-to-view manner.
ABOUT US
Dan Moore (Indy Film Fest) and Jon Gann (founder of DC Shorts, festival consultant) have developed organizational processes and built systems for dozens of festivals worldwide. With FestNest, they bring these proven best practices and strategies together.
We’re just scratching the surface
Every day, we’re adding more functionality to the system, based on user input and industry trends. Here are some of the ways FestNest can improve your review process today:
Each user’s account can link to multiple organizations or events.
Import data — with a single click — from all major submission sites, including active and legacy sites.
Single unified tracking codes for all imported and manually entered submissions.
Storing multiple years’ of data with historical searching. Know your filmmakers over the years and see the trends of what they have submitted.
Completely customize review questions based on your event’s needs, or use one of our suggested forms developed from best practices.
Create as many review rounds as needed, and monitor progress of each round on a single screen.
Organize films into multiple lists.
Organize reviewers into multiple groups.
Assign films randomly, to sets of reviewers, or to individuals.
Glance at how your reviewers are performing to reward top screeners, and let overworked ones take a break.
WHAT USERS ARE SAYING

Save
Your
Sanity
