We offer submitters two publication options:

Standard Review: Featured on homepage and social media. May take up to 30 days for publication.

Priority Review: Featured at the top of our homepage for 7 days and recommended across all film pages for 7 days. Promoted on our social media. Guaranteed publication within 48 hours.

    Lovely team, happy I received a review. Quite liked the mystery about it, as I had no clue what the critic will write. Worth the try. Thanks

    I submitted to Think Shorts after viewing films on their website and reading their reviews. I believe them to be fair based on my review of their site. They address the technical and artistic components of each film using comments that can be used as suggestions for improvement if needed. They respond to e-mails in a timely manner and made a correction I requested promptly. I recommend them highly.
