Hamilton24 2013 Cancelled
Dear Hamilton24 Filmmakers, We regret to inform you that the Hamilton24 2013 is being cancelled in order to allow our festival team to properly plan and prepare for a significantly reformatted, and expanded festival in 2014. Over the first few years (2008-2011), the festival grew so rapidly, that our small team of staff and volunteers struggled to keep up with the demands of the event. Our solution in 2012 was to scale the festival back to being only a 24-hour film competition. Now, moving forward, we want to regrow the festival properly. This takes significant time and tremendous resources. As a small company with a healthy workload, we simply do not have the resources to do justice to the 2013 festival while preparing the new H24 to be unveiled next year. The Hamilton24 has been a passion project of mine since 2008, and so it's not easy to pull the plug on this. However, to respect the efforts of our team of staff and volunteers, we feel this is the best course of action at this time. Thank you for your understanding, and thank you for registering to participate this year! Please note that all registration fees paid will be refunded to you within the next 7 business days. We profoundly apologize for any inconvenience this cancellation may cause you. We're looking forward to sharing our plans for 2014 with you soon! They're ambitious and exciting. We can't wait to run our beloved festival again. Thank you always for your participation. sincerely, Martinus Geleynse
