Be sure to indicate aspect ratio of your film/video as well as any other special screening/presentation information we might need to know. We do not pay rental fees for submitted work that is programmed.

The festival jury will present awards to films and videos selected as best in these categories: Drama Feature and Short, Comedy Feature and Short, Documentary Feature and Short, Experimental, Animation, Horror "Best Local" and more.
