he just was under the impression that the four packages contained one movie, rather than four self-contained episodes/short-films.

I might have misinterpreted your end goal, but just to clarify - packing a full feature film in multiple reels won't be unusual :)
That is actually how most feature films are created today. I have seen only a few single reel Hollywood titles (e.g. the digitally remastered 'Top Gun').
I know. That's why I misinterpreted the warning from the (non-technical) festival employee as "your DCPs aren't multi-reel". The DCPs in question are only half an hour long, though that's slightly longer than the standard reel length.

What I meant by the above (and what the festival technician was warning about) was that it would be unusual (and problematic) to package a movie in several DCPs (not reels!). There the transitional points would most certainly be problematic.

I hope I clarified what I meant now - as you see, the difference between packages and reels can cause confusion on many levels. ;-)
