Here’s the Who, What, Where, Why, and When to do next:

1. Screening Copy. Please mail us a high quality screening copy by August 5th. We prefer NTSC BetaSP, but will also accept mini DV. *We will not accept DVD, also please make sure that foreign films have English subtitles in the final screening copy* We strongly recommend using priority mail with delivery confirmation or a courier like UPS. We’ll take care of return shipping. If the screening copy needs to go to another festival after ours, please e-mail us the address.

2. Press Materials. If you have not already done so, please send us a digital press kit which should include a filmmaker bio, picture of the filmmaker, producer or director statement, synopsis of the film (250 words or less and a 3 line version), three film stills (at least 4in x 6in and 300 dpi), and any poster art. If you would like a poster of your film to be displayed at the festival, please send an 11in. x 17in. (preferably on foam core) no later than August 5th. We will also be happy to accept postcards of your film to be distributed around the St. Louis area before the festival.

3. Attending? Please let us know as soon as possible if you plan to attend. Each film represented at the festival will receive two filmmaker passes good for everything. Festival passes are good only for producer(s) or director(s) of the film. Extra passes may be purchased at the door.
