Lower rules are applicable to others fests.
1) Register to receive the "enigma". An individual element challenge that must be included in your film. This is a puzzle piece engaging audience interaction.
2) Pick your presence - Just what I wanted!, Re-Gifting, Take it back, Eh Thanks or Santa's Secrets .
3) Your finished film must be uploaded through FilmFreeway by the closing date for submission. Dark Christmas - December 9th 2019.
4) The finished featured films have no minimum duration, and a maximum of 7 minutes duration—not including end credits. In other words, the official running time begins after the required Filmulate slates and ends prior to the end credits. The required slates and the end credits do not count towards the official duration. The film story may not be longer than 7 minutes. The Film does not have to be the full allocated time. Shorter films are sometimes better. An additional 60 seconds can be used for end credits. Opening credits are included in the 6 minutes 66 seconds.
5) PRE-FILM REQUIRED SLATES: Before the finished film begins, the media should have...
5 seconds of black
A title card with: team name, title, genre, elements, city, and date

You are responsible for the playability of your film. If your submission does not play, every effort will be made to contact you for an acceptable version before the screening.
This may disqualify you from the judging due to time constraints.
