BOOBS & BLOOD, HONORABLE MENTION 2025

Dear Joshua,

This has been another amazing year for high quality films and scripts. Unfortunately, not all of the wonderful projects we consider can be included, and we are forced to make many difficult decisions each year.

We can inform you that BOOBS & BLOOD has updated the judging status of your submission to HONORABLE MENTION. For BOOBS & BLOOD, HONORABLE MENTION status is given to work that is of an exceptionally high standard and worthy of festival praise even though it did not make Official Selection, will not be in competition for an award and (if it's a film) will not be screened at the festival in 2025. In other words it's our way of saying how close you were to being Officially Selected. You were in the top 30% of all entries.

Feel free to download your HONORABLE MENTION laurel and share on social media now (black and white versions available):

Please know that your project was carefully considered by our programming team, and the decision was incredibly difficult to say the least.

Thank you again for sharing your wonderful project with us - you certainly have talent. We wish you the best of luck, and we hope to have the opportunity to view your work in the future.
