Filmmakers will be required to sign a release certifying that they have received all of the necessary releases and clearances for talent, crew, location, property, music, special effects, etc. The release must be either scanned and e-mailed back to us or faxed by February 7. If you're under 18, please also have a parent sign.
6. We have no rules as far as profanity and nudity but we must consider what is acceptable to a public audience.
7. There is no requirement as to language or subtitles, but keep in mind we speak mostly English and our audience will be English speaking. If your entry is in another language and understanding the dialog is integral to the story, we probably won't understand it, which may hurt your chances of being chosen.
