The only drawback to that solution is that it’s pretty daunting to use MIME-compliant code in a program like that.
Without it, you are stuck with text-only emails and those just have almost no draw whatsoever. We tried a couple of experiments using text-only email for our newsletters and the response to them was almost nothing. People hate HTML newsletters but they respond and use them. When it’s text, your audience will almost never act or respond to them.

The best way to handle it in your situation in a service like Constant Contact which is at:
https://www.constantcontact.com
They are able to assist you in all your set-up, sending and management. Their service handles all the subscribes and unsubscribes and it’s all automated.
They also have what it takes to do MIME-compliant mailings and that will be important for a film festival like yours, I would imagine. Learning this on your own is a lot of work.
That’s how I would start the process and how I’d simplify it, if I were in your shoes.

We would add a Fusion forum if we ever had someone volunteer to host one but alas, no one has ever volunteered.
The only Fusion community we know of is at pigsfly.com

[Sir Hamilton] “Hi, Im a Video Producer, editor, and After Effects Super-star.”
And humble, too. ;o)
[Sir Hamilton] “All that is between me and acctual production is time and Money,”
Two fierce and unforgiving adversaries, indeed.
[Sir Hamilton] “What do I need prepared for perfect proffesional presentation?”
I’d start with a spell-checker and move on from there. No one will take you serious when you are pitching for money and there are as many typos in your presentation as there are in this single post.
Money people will often turn up their noses at “roughs” that include enough typos which, to them, read as sloppy work and the portent of more of the same in the production process.
[Sir Hamilton] “If I bury a hundred dollar bill in the ground, care for it, and water it everyday, will my money grow? “
In this industry, you often need liberal amounts of manure added to bring things to fruition.
Finding an agent is a sure way to access a bountiful manure supply.
[Sir Hamilton] “What are good resources on grants…”
On TV there’s an oddball named Matthew Lesko who hawks his book on bilking the government out of grant and other monies while wearing dork-supreme glasses and moronic Batman nemesis Riddler suits with question marks all over them. (His Dad must cringe every time he comes on, I know I would if he were my son.)
While you will likely never get any of the money he points to and will waste a lot of time trying to do so, he will get you thinking about things that you had never considered before (seriously) and I’d recommend his book for that alone.
The guy may be a dork of a dresser and overstate his case and give a false impression of things but he will get you thinking.

You actually have to have the multi-track recording. In other words, the recording with each instrument and vocal on its own track.
Most commercial recordings, which I suspect is what you are trying to remove vocals from, are “mastered” recordings wherein all the various tracks have been mixed and mastered down to the consumer’s stereo or 5.1, etc., version. Most times, it is all the instruments and voices mixed to the left/right stereo channels.
So the only way you can do this, is to find a plug-in somewhere that isolates based on frequencies — one that that has been optimised to recognise the register of the human voice. I am not aware of one right at the moment but I am sure such a thing exists. I have never had to do this, so I haven’t bumped into it yet but I know it’s out there…
