To ensure that each film is evaluated and graded on its own merits, we established a mechanism that ensures that we do not judge entries against each another. They compete against themselves: we evaluate each item on its own merits and provide a score based on an innate value system. We want to ensure that when it's your moment to be judged, the judges' attention is focused on you and not on all the other films in the queue; this ensures that they won't be thinking about comparisons when they should think about YOU.
WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE?
1. DISTRIBUTOR REVIEW by Worldwide Motion Pictures Corporation (WWMPC.COM) for features, Adler & Associates for features and shorts, and Polaris Pictures (for screenplays) for our chosen "Best of Festival" and "Best of Show" winners based on enough qualified submissions.
2. The opportunity to be included in an international film distributor's buyer's packet.
3. A festival run as a virtual competition: We invest in getting distributor recognition for quality films to give them a life beyond a one-time festival showing.
4. Any film rejected receives a personal letter explaining why.
Film submissions go through two stages in each of our 11 Film Festivals (or judging committees)
Stage one: entails the Acceptance Judges reviewing your submission and determining whether it has the production values to be Officially Selected to compete (be judged for an award.) Official Selection does not mean your film will be screened.
With us, when you get an official selection notification, it means your film, screenplay, or novel passed through the stringent acceptance process (By the selection judges), and now it's ready to go in front of the awarding judges.
Rejected submissions are allowed to correct the issues and resubmit for free, even the following season.
While most festivals do not explain a rejection, we strive to help filmmakers improve their festival acceptance rates and, therefore, their marketability.
Stage two: Officially selected submissions are sent to the AWARDING judges. They will choose the award (s) for the films. Not all films are recognized.
5. Regardless of deadline status, all STUDENT FILM ENTRIES are subject to a flat fee of $30. (Proof required of student status at the time of filming: no refunds if your ID is not legitimate)
Finally, our founders are members of the Universal Film & Festival Organization (UFFO.ORG). The UFFO is a non-profit organization in the United Kingdom dedicated to "promoting best business practices for film festivals." It ensures that your film is judged fairly and thoroughly
