SUBMISSIONS
We are interested in independent films and documentaries that reflect international perspectives, cultural diversity, and stories of social impact. We consider submissions on a rolling basis as follows:
1. Completed or Near-Completion Projects:
For such projects, we consider all genres and formats: short and feature narratives, documentaries, and educational films.
WE ARE ESPECIALLY INTERESTED IN COMPLETED SHORT FILMS AT THIS TIME.
Email us a link to a secure screener and/or trailer, along with a one-sheet or pitch deck. Include contact information, production date, format, credit list, copyright ownership information, any prior releases, available rights, and budget information (for near-completion projects). Films in languages other than English are welcome but must have subtitles.
2. Screenplays and Documentary Proposals:
All screenplays and proposals must be formatted to industry standards (rough ideas or screenplays not properly formatted will be rejected) and accompanied by the author's contact information, bio or C.V., and any relevant information, such as pitch deck, talent or funds attached, budgets, schedules, or vision boards. Screenplays and proposals must be submitted in English.
All screenplays and proposals must be accompanied by our submission release form or it will be automatically deleted from our system without review. Please print the form, fill it out, sign it, scan it, and email it to us with the submitted material.
We do not accept ideas, unadapted books, non-English TV series, or non-English documentary proposals.
