If Chosen
If your film is chosen, you will be notified by September 10th. In the case your film is selected, please have a
300 dpi photograph ready. This photograph will be distributed to the press and for use on the festival website. It
probably goes without saying, but the best photos get the best exposure. If your film has a link to a trailer online that
is a bonus. If selected a director or representative from the film able to attend their screening is a plus,
but not required. We do not offer fee waivers or travel for selected film representatives.

about films in the country.
