Hope this can help clear things up. The deadline was only extended four days for entrants who had tried to previously submit their film but had been unable to. They had a lot of technical problems with the website and their support staff were so bogged down with complaints they couldn't deal with everything in time for the deadline. If you had tried to begin the submission process after the original deadline it wouldn't have let you, but anyone who had tried and not been able to was given the four days for the tech team to sort things out for them. Hope that helps.
