Entries are limited to those who reside or have produced their film in the Rocky Mountain Region (CO, WY, NM, MT and UT). (NOTE: Scripts will only be accepted by those RESIDING in the Rocky Mountain Region.) The submissions should be appropriate for G, PG, PG13 and R ratings, although obtaining a rating prior to submission is not necessary.
(*** We reserve the right to not show any submissions we deem outside the scope of these ratings.)
Please do not submit works in progress.
We are looking for scripts, three types of films, trailers and actor reels. The categories are:
Scripts (Features only) ($20): Any narrative or documentary feature script, considered commercial or not, between 50 and 110 minutes/pages in length. Hardcopies only. (Increases to $25 after 6/30/2009).
Student Films ($25): must be a high school or college student with valid id. The film length is 30 minutes or less. No films that have been posted on-line. (Increases to $30 after 6/30/2009).
Short Films ($35): Any non-student, narrative or documentary films that are 30 minutes or less in length. (Increases to $45 after 6/30/2009)
Feature Films ($45): Any narrative or documentary feature, considered commercial or not, between 50 and 110 minutes in length. (Increases to $55 after 6/30/2009).
*** All Feature Film submitters are requested to also send in a trailer of their submitted film - NO EXTRA CHARGE! See the advantages and specs for the trailer below. You do not need to "Submit" the trailer separately via the on-line submission form, just send it along with your feature film submission materials.
Trailers / Actor Reels ($20): This option is for anyone who wants to promote their full-length feature film, but aren't prepared to submit the actual film at this time, or for those who want to promote their acting talent. The trailer / reel will be shown during the festival's Friday night Meet-and-Greet "Trailer Park" party. The length must be at least 1 and no more than 2 minutes, including any credits. Trailers / reels will not be judged, and must be rated G or PG. (Increases to $25 after 6/30/2009).
Submissions
Submissions are a combination of online and mail. You will have to mail two (2) DVDs (or CDs for trailers and actor reels or hardcopy Scripts) to our offices. Please do not worry about fancy covers; a thin jewel case will work fine. You must fill out the entry form online, and then you can either pay online or send a check with your submission. In either case, be sure to include the submission number that will be provided via the online submission on both DVDs (or CDs or Scripts) and on the cases so we that can easily identify them.
All Student, Short and Feature submissions must be on DVD in NTSC format. (Sorry, no Blue-Ray this year) All trailers and actor reels should be on CD or DVD (data disc formatted, not DVD formatted) in QuickTime movie format.
Please be sure to also review our Policies & Procedures.
