Frequently Asked Questions
What film length do we recommend?
We feature films from 60 seconds to 90 minutes. The majority of our films are under 20 minutes. 1-15 minute clips are ideal. We may ask you to edit the length if we love your story but have trouble managing the time.
What kinds of films do we accept?
We are looking for films that feature athletes who undefine feminine. Production, cinematography, etc, do not need to be fully run by women-identified individuals. However, the core purpose of this festival is to highlight, represent and ultimately undefine our concept of femininity. We are looking for films that inspire adventure and have an empowered lead.
What do I get if my film is accepted?
Life long satisfaction, an all-access pass to the festival and events, your film projected on a $100,000 projector to audiences around the country wildly applauding your story, the opportunity to bond with our awesome corporate partners and sponsors, our unconditional love and support, and official acceptance into the No Man's Land Family. You could also win an award!
