Fees

Submission Fee: $0.00

Deadlines:

Deadline extended until September 7th, 2008

Submission Requirements:

Films must be less than 5 minutes.

We are accepting all genres of films from all over this over-populated planet.

Films must not suck.

While people might be sitting on a couch to watch your film, there is absolutely no requirement for your film to have a couch in it.

Films must have been completed after Jan, 1, 2007.

Please submit as high-quality 720 x 480 NTSC .mov files on a data DVD.

To help with our poor organizational skills, preview material should be labeled with the title, running-time, contact email and phone number.

It will be helpful if non-English films have English sub-titles.

You should include smashing publicity stills from your movie for our program.

You may submit more than one film, but each film must be on a separate DVD and must be accompanied by its own completed submission form.

The Festival will try to email you to confirm that we received your eye opening film.

Couch Fest Films may use your film material and publicity stills for promotional purposes.
