Due to unforeseen issues and logistics in getting the festival set
up, we were unable to fully partner with Withoutabox this year.
However, we fully believe in and support their mission and all that
they do for festivals and filmmakers. With that in mind, we would like
to extend our submission deadline to March 14, 2009. We are also
adding a Late submission date of March 31, 2009.
