I don't recall ever rejecting a submission for handwriting
but it we want to get ahold of you and we can't read your address or email or phone number that could be a problem.

If yes, is "something exploitative and sleazy" going on, or do they do it in the name of "narrowing" the entry pool? If they do it in the name of narrowing the entry pool, isn't that exploitative and sleazy? Why aren't festivals responsive to technical questions about their selections process like Myron's?

So I started to print very neatly, then I reconsidered, what if these guys are jerks and will keep my money and my submission dvds and disregard my entry because I didn't put this form in a typewriter and hand printed instead. Generally I get a feeling from most "film festivals" that something exploitative and sleezy is going on anyway. So I am just going to forget about it.
