Submission FAQ 
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you accept music videos? |
A: Sorry, no. |
Q: Do you accept rough cuts? |
A: Yes, but it should be 90% done - please include a note in the cover letter and on the DVD case so that our screeners and programmers know exactly what work you've got left to do. |
Q: How long can my film be? |
A: Our short films are less than 45 minutes long. Feature length films are 45 minutes or longer. |
Q: If I submit my film on the very last day, will it have less of a chance of being accepted? |
A: No. ALL films will be watched. Promise. |
Q: Do you have restrictions on national or regional premieres? |
A: Nope. |
Q: May I submit more than one film? |
A: Yes, as long as each film is accompanied by its own entry form and fee. |
Q: My film was made in 1999 - can I still submit it? |
A: No. We are starting fresh this millennium. |
Q: Can I get both a Withoutabox discount and a student discount? |
A: No. Only one or the other. |
Q: What if I was a student when I made the film but I've graduated and I'm not in school anymore - is it still considered a student film? |
A: Yes. |
Q: Does each film actually get screened or do some get automatically rejected without even being opened? |
A: We watch EVERYTHING. |
Q: Do you accept international films? |
A: Yes. |
Q: What is your definition of "international"? |
A: The usual definition is: If more than 50% of a project's financing comes from international sources, your film will be considered an international film. |
Q: Do you give awards? |
A: Yes. We will be awarding the “Best of Fest” in all categories. |
Q: Do the entry deadlines represent dates that the film must be received on or postmarked by? |
A: Your film MUST be postmarked no later than the deadline for which you have registered. |
Note: If a film payment is received after a postmark deadline, we will not view your film until the fee difference is received. |
We strongly suggest that you mail your film to us well in advance of the postmark deadline for which you have registered! |
