The first essential step to submit to the YoungCuts Film Festival is to make a great short film. If you have already done that, GREAT! Follow the steps below to submit your film and take the next step in advancing your film career.
STEP 1: Fill out the 2013 YoungCuts Film Festival Submission Form online.
STEP 2: Send us your film!
We prefer that you send us your film online, so that we can screen it and let you know whether we need you to send us physical copies of your film. There are a variety of simple ways for you to send us your film online:
When sending us films online, we are looking for a high-quality compressed version of your film suitable to watch online. File size should be no greater than 40MB per minute of the film up to a maximum of 750 MB.
Instead of sending us your film online, you may choose to send us physical copies of your film right away, before we have a chance to screen your film. In that case, please send your two DVD screeners and a Data DVD with a .MOV file in an Apple Pro Res 4.22 codec to:
YoungCuts Film Festival
