POLICY & PROMOTIONS
We require that you market and aim to bring at least 35 guests to your screening and have the guest list emailed to us no later than the Friday prior to your screening date.
Upon selection to screen: a $100 Refundable Deposit will be required. The deposit will be refunded solely based on a minimum of 35 individuals in attendance to specifically support your project. Please contact shortfilms@davebrownusa.com with any questions or concerns before submitting your project.
As a filmmaker, one of your keys to success is marketing yourself and your product. Use this event as a formal opportunity for you to invite potential industry partners, agents, etc. Also, to get the word out, ask your cast and crew to each invite 5-10 people. Opt to make a Facebook event page and promote via Twitter and Instagram. Follow us @IndieNightFF and use #IndieNightFF to connect with us on social media. You are welcome to use the official flyer and Indie Night Official Selection laurels in your marketing.
There is no cover for the event but there is a venue-required 2 drink minimum at the door. Non-alcoholic ($14 for 2) and alcoholic beverages ($18 for 2) are available.
DVD REQUIREMENTS
We need a 1080p DVD copy of your film no later than the Wednesday prior to your confirmed screening date. Please label the DVD with the title of your project, your showcase date, and your name. You can set up a mutually convenient drop off with the director or mail to the mailing address provided. Be sure that your DVD is standard and set at 1080p (if it can play on a BluRay player then it is perfect). Please note it does not have to be a BluRay disc, a standard DVD is fine. PLEASE test your disc before sending it to us. And bring an extra copy of your film with you on the day of your screening.
TERMS and CONDITIONS
First and foremost, submitting your film to the Indie Night Film Festival in no way implies any ownership rights by Indie Night to the submitted film. You own your project. If you are approached by anyone to option your film as a result of being listed on our website or being screened at Indie Night, we do not take a cut of the deal. It is your film and all rights remain yours.
You can submit your film online. Only one film per application. If entering more than one film or episode of a webseries, you must submit each separately. Each project is judged solely on its merits.
