Withoutabox

horrible and antiquated and impossible

I spend over 2k on withoutthebox this year, with NO results and some festivals didn’t even saw my movie or got my submission!!! I paid $ 60 for NYIFF while checking up with them, they told me i was at the wrong festival. Then i send them a screenshot from my confirmation page the the ok blue /​in consideration status. They told me my movie didn’t make it. Then they told me that they never received my MOVIE!!! And i should mail them a bluray disc. No more Withoutthebox. They are ripoffs. I submitted 2 features and 3 shorts. Spending a total of over 5k for all my project, with little/​no results. SAD. SAD. SAD. NO MORE. Shame on you withoutthebox!!!
+ I just saw a video that Film Festivals hate withoutthebox!!! They are trying to see Film Festivals marketing /​advertising packages.

I dont know what is going on with withoutabox. They have taken my money but they did not deliver their services. They dont answer their phone, return emails after months of asking for a refund.

My partner and I worked for two screenplay contests this summer that relied on Without A Box. He received a late paycheck as they transferred the money to the contest he was working for late. My paycheck is *extremely* late as they had issues transferring the money to the contest administrator. Then, they screwed up and instead of making sure it matched the name on the bank account, they put the contest name instead. Now she has to clear that up, and has been receiving extremely poor customer service (she had no follow-​up after she contacted them about this issue). Really horrible, you would not want to work for a company relying on their services. You may not get paid, no matter where you are in the organization’s hierarchy, for quite awhile. I expect after this summer’s mishaps they will lose a lot of companies that were using their services.
