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 40 minutes. 1-15 minute clips are ideal. We may ask you to edit the length if we love your story but have trouble managing our time!
What kinds of films do we accept?
We are looking for films featuring females - sorry guys! Production, cinematography, etc, do not need to be run full-force by women. However, the core purpose of this festival is to highlight and represent our feminine energy. We are looking for films that inspire adventure and have an empowered female feature. Typically adventure film festivals are looking for films strictly in the realm of adventure and action sports - climbing, biking, skiing, boating, yoga - but we have expanded our focus and realize that passion and adventure run deeper than these boundaries. So filmmakers, show us what you've got!
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 when an award! And did we mention free beer!?
