THE FOLLOWING ARE GENERAL FESTIVAL GUIDELINES
We require either a DVD NTSC region 0 or MPEG4 Quicktime or Screener of the project for selection - NTSC Region O DVD is preferred. DO NOT SEND PRESS PACKS, PHOTOS, TESTIMONIALS OR ANYTHING ELSE WITH YOUR SUBMISSION - it is a waste of paper and post. If we accept your film we will ask for the other things we need. Better still, make sure you upload a full press kit and trailer to your FilmFreeway listing.
So, process is this - our selection team view the film, if we like it...it's in!
All features we screen will be preceded by a short film selected by us - no exceptions. We believe strongly in a short & feature program for our audience.
