After putting pressure on this fake and scam festival, they voluntarily shut down. The GOLDEN LAUREL INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL was the perfect baiting trap: Lots of categories, Everyone is selected, free laurels and an award to purchase for 400 dollars. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

The question is, will they return in another guise?

It is another small dent. Pass the Petition around. We need numbers to support the cause and make a direct plea to FilmFreeway to improve their policing of their platform.
