STEP 1 - Registration
If you are excited about making a movie, submit the registration form to the UTD-TV office, MC3.604, as soon as possible. Keep in mind that you don't have to have a script planned by this date; you only have to be excited about making a movie!
STEP 2 - Rough Draft Submission
We ask that you submit a rough cut of your film to the UTD-TV office, MC3.604, by noon of February 23rd, 2010. Submissions must be in DVD format.
This rough cut will serve two purposes: it will provide an estimate of the number of films participating in the festival and help the Viewing Committee (VC) regulate the quality of the submission. If the VC see a film with promise but has some production concerns(s), the VC will communicate this to the film’s director (example: poor sound quality…etc.)
STEP 3 - Film Submission
The final exhibition version of your film must be delivered to the UTD-TV office, MC3.604, by noon on March 22nd, 2010 in DVD format. You must turn in a Film Submission Form along with the final product.
Submit
- Five (5) Exhibition copies of your film (NTSC DVD format)
- All media release forms from anyone appearing in the film (including voice actors), as well as from the director and the scriptwriter.
- An accounting estimate of the number of man-hours spent making the film as well as your budget.
