The film’s producer will create a FilmFreeway project page. | ||
Project information. Include the urls from your film’s previously created website, twitter, and facebook. | ||
Submitter Information. The film’s producer is responsible for filling this out. But – being mindful of student graduation dates – you may wish to designate a submitter who will commit to managing the film for a full year after it’s made. | ||

Specifications. FilmFreeway relies on the information in this section to match your film to festivals for which it qualifies. Don’t leave anything out. | ||
Screenings/Distribution. Some festivals will not accept your submission if the film has been screened elsewhere. It’s therefore wise to embargo the film from unrestricted YouTube or Vimeo distribution for a year after its premiere. | ||

Poster. 11x17 .pdf | ||
additionally | ||
Poster. 11x17. 300 dpi. Because artwork and text may require future adjustment to accommodate festival award notices, the poster must be submitted as a .psd with layers which can be edited. | ||
All fonts used in poster, credits, and title – even if they’re standard fonts which may be found on most computers or the Adobe TypeKit. | ||
Behind-the-Scenes (BTS) Photos. 3000 pixels shortest dimension. jpgs only. No fewer than eighteen photos chronicling the work of student filmmakers. Six each chronicling pre-production, production, and post-production phases. Submitted as an assignment for a filmmaking class, the photos should, of course, be well-lit and well-composed. I recommend you enlist the talents of a photography student so your attention to filmmaking tasks is not diverted. |
