I had submitted my short film to the Zee5 Short Film Contest. A few days ago, I received a call from a person claiming to be a representative of Zee5, informing me that my film had been selected. He mentioned that I would need to sign a contract for three years, and he also suggested a five-year option. In return, he offered me a certain amount of money.
I am a bit unsure about the process. Is this how selected films are usually notified, or is there typically an official announcement, email, or some other form of communication sent to contestants? I would appreciate any clarification regarding the standard selection process.
Thank you.
