First Look: Reminder

The 2010 First Look Rules & Regulations are now open and will close on October 2 at Noon, less than a month away. Do not wait until the last week to apply. Films are accepted on a first come first serve basis. Once the 480 minute film festival total running time has been met, we will close First Look. Only three films will be wait listed.

Pick up an application outside of SCA 235 or go online to SCA Community. Under Resources, look for Festivals & Distribution then click on First Look Submissions Guidelines.
 
To start preparing for First Look, check that your production book in the school archives is complete, with all releases - music and actors. Archives will also need a screener (DVD) to look at your film.

Please note:
Only films with a 2008 copyright or later will be accepted.
Only films made for the following classes are eligible:
474, 479/486, 480, 484, 546, 547, 581, 582, 586, 587, 592, 594A and 800.
