SUBMISSION GUIDLINES

HOW DO I SUBMIT? Easy. Send your film (less than 21 min) in DVD format along with a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope (if you want the film returned) and a signed/dated media release form to: Friar's Lantern's FilmStock 964 W. Hackamore St., Ste. 104 Mesa, AZ 85201 Be sure to speficy if you want your film entered as an OFFICIAL SELECTION or a SPECIAL ENGAGEMENT (details explaining the 2 categories are below). Also, include contact information (email is our preferred method of contact) with each individual submission so we can let you know if your film has been selected. There is no fee for submitting material. Unsigned or incomplete release forms will disqualify entrants and if arrangements are not made to have DVD materials returned said materials will be destroyed. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "OFFICIAL SELECTIONS" AND "SPECIAL ENGAGEMENTS" There are 2 categories in which you can submit your film. The first is the prestigious "Official Selections" category. Officially selected films are in contention to win the Best of Fest award (consisting of a hefty "BOF" plaque, a radio interview on radiophoenix.org, 6 hours of post-audio space at The Boom Room and an official Filmstock t-shirt). The other option is to enter your film as a SPECIAL ENGAGEMENT film. Special engagement films are NOT in contention to win the Best of Fest award....but it does allow you to MAKE MONEY off of your film! If selected as a special engagement, you will be given a film specific promo code to give out for your film. Instruct everyone to enter that promo code when they purchase their Filmstock tickets online and 2 things will happen: First, they will get their tickets at a discounted rate ($8 instead of the normal $10), and second, $4 of that $8 purchase will get kicked back to YOU! Keep in mind, you will only make money off of properly coded advanced online purchases. You will not make money off of "door sales" at the event! Submission deadline for the JULY 1st event is JUNE 16th. HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY FILM HAS BEEN SELECTED? Official selection announcements are usually made 2 weeks prior to the event. On that day, if selected, you will receive an email announcing your films' involvement as well as details on what you need to do to prepare yourself, and your film, for the event!  |

IF MY FILM IS NOT SELECTED, CAN I SUBMIT IT AGAIN FOR FUTURE EVENTS? Yes, if you have submitted a film and it was not selected for that particular FilmStock event, it will still be in the running for future Filmstock events, with no need from you to resubmit at all! If you do NOT want it in contention for future festivals, please specify that to us on your initial entry form. CAN I SUBMIT MORE THAN ONE FILM AT A TIME? Yes, you may submit as many films as you like. Each film must be accompanied by it's own Media Release Form. DOWNLOAD THE SUBMISSION FORM HERE. |
