Submissions
Submissions to Write Shoot Cut are FREE and continuously open so what are you waiting for?
The rules are simple:
- All genres are welcome.
- Drama, Documentary, Experimental, Music Video, Art Film and so on are welcome.
- Films must not exceed 20 minutes running time (films for The Weekender must not exceed 120 minutes).
- The reviewers will be looking for films that catch their eye. It could be because they tell a great story, they are technically brilliant, they are interesting or innovative, they show real passion from those involved, they have a great story behind them or they just made us laugh/squirm/cry/scared.
- Films do not have to have had funding or the highest production values, we are just looking for good films that an audience would want to see.
- Not all films will be selected for screening and unfortunately feedback cannot be given on unsuccessful submissions.
- Unfortunately we cannot respond to every submission. If we wish to screen your film, we will contact you.
- Films will be selected by how they fit into a programme and may be played further down the line if suitable.
- Write Shoot Cut would also like to discuss showcasing films/filmmakers on the blog should their films be selected.
There are two ways you can submit:
- Via Vimeo Private Video Link. Upload your film to Vimeo, make it private with a password. Send the link and password to neil@screen-ed.org If we select the film you will then need to send us a video file or DVD.
- Via Dropbox or WeTransfer by emailing your film’s download link to neil@screen-ed.org. Files accepted are Quicktime, WMV, Mp4.
We only screen films from video file and accept no other formats.
We look forward to watching your work!
Fantastic initiative – wishing you the very best, and including info in latest update from Discover Fine Acting.
Have fun!
Is it necessary to password protect your video, is it ok if it is live?
Not at all. If it’s live just send through the link.
Fantastic
Cheers
Hello hello,
This event is fantastic for sharing Your work with others in a wider audience. I went to one of the first screenings in Spring 2012, and it was great that the socialising was not confined to the noisy atmos of the bar – I had a great confab with some like-minded folk out having a smoke in the cobbled street outside….I dont even smoke haha.
I’d like to ask, whether there is any requirements or limitations to the Filmakers Profile ?
All the best,
Craig
Hi Craig,
Thanks for the nice words, glad you enjoyed your experience.
Just so I fully understand the question, what filmmakers profile do you mean? The films that are screened or the interviews on the site?
Neil
For the Weekender you say you are accepting feature submissions, but the submission guidelines say under 20 minutes. I want to submit a 25-30 minute film to the weekender, is that possible?
Apologies, I’ve updated that. Films for the Weekender can be up to 120 minutes in length. Cheers
