The Submission Process |
Partial or incomplete entries cannot be accepted, so please double-check that you have included everything
required, especially if it’s close to the deadline of 30 September 2009.
One person should be designated as the contact for each entry. The Festival handles numerous submissions
and can only successfully work with one contact per film. The contact need not be the director or
producer, etc., but should be authorized to submit the work, supply information as described on the entry
form, and speak on behalf of the production.
All necessary rights and permissions for festival exhibition of each work submitted is the responsibility
of the film production.
Please include a brief film synopsis, list of principle cast and crew, and brief filmmaker bios. Feel free
to send a press kit if you have one, but the Festival doesn’t need to see marketing material at the
submission stage. If your film is accepted, then we’ll ask for more information.
