Crimson Screen Horror Fest rejection

Just got the following e-mail from Fil Freeway:


"Dear Erik D.,
Thank you for submitting your film or screenplay to the Crimson Screen Horror Film Fest. Unfortunately, we are not able to include it in our program this year. We had our biggest year yet and we packed it with as many films as possible for 3 days of the fest which came out to about 57 films total. 
WAIT…it’s not over.  Read the entire email please!!!!
Please know that your project was carefully considered by our programming team, and the decision was incredibly difficult to say the least. Unfortunately, not all of the wonderful projects we consider can be included, and we are forced to make many difficult decisions each year.
Many of the films were amazing and it came down to a "what can we fit in the time period we have" situation, so do not think anything was "wrong" with your project.  
Thank you again for sharing your project with us. We wish you the best of luck, and we hope to have the opportunity to view your work in the future.
NOTICE: Every year there are filmmakers who do not respond to their notice or do not get us their screeners in time, and we then replace them with other films. So you still have a chance of being picked so please keep a watch on your email.
Lastly, ALL short film submissions, even those that were not chosen as official selections, will be viewed by execs from ShortsTV for a chance at a cable broadcast deal! ShortsTV is the world’s largest distributor of short films, including Oscar-winning shorts. Their channel is carried worldwide and in the States, you can find it on DirecTV and AT&T Uverse.

Look for a possible email from them after May 24th if they want to offer you a nonexclusive broadcast deal on your short.  They are a sponsor of our fest and really need horror shorts...so don't be shocked if they contact you about your film.   Check your spam mail!

Thank you again for submitting and please continue to make horror films!
Good luck!
Sincerely,
Crimson Screen Horror Film Fest
