Proposed films should not exceed 15 minutes in length. ​If your film is selected, you must provide a downloadable high-resolution file (1080p) for the final line up upon selection.

You may submit up to two film proposals per application fee. If you are submitting two films with your application, please include a link to the second film within the body of your application (if you have trouble submitting your 2nd film, please email us the link to your 2nd film).

Whether or not your film is selected, you will be entitled to a complementary ticket for the Thursday evening event as part of your application fee.

​With your submission, in addition to contact info, artist bios, preferred pronouns, and film synopses, please respond to the following questions:

How did you hear about us? How do you see your work fitting into the festival? If accepted, how do you plan to help promote The Outlet Dance Project?
