Question 1

What is the age requirement to submit?

Accepted Answer

Anyone age 12-18 and still attending high school are able to submit!

Question 2

Do I have to live in NYC to submit?

Accepted Answer

No! Films submitted in the tri-state region tend to be more heavily considered, but not living near New York City definitiely isn't a dealbreaker.

Question 3

How long can my film be?

Accepted Answer

You can upload any length film no matter how brief or long. Just keep in mind that we try to keep the festival runtime around 2h and 30min, so very long films may not be able to be included.

Question 4

Are there any content restrictions?

Accepted Answer

As long as your film isn't racist, sexist, homophobic, or contains any other sort of bigotry, nope!
