SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED
The Broad Humor International Film Festival is now in the process of selecting the films that will screen and the scripts that will have scenes read as part of this year's 5th anniversary event.
The 2010 Broad Humor Intenational Film Festival accepts submissions from
January 10, 2010 to May 2, 2010. Submitted works must have humor as a major component of the story. Screenplays must have ONLY women as writiers, and films must BOTH be written and directed by a woman or women. It need not be the same
woman, but all directors and writers must be female.
Categories: Both Film
and Screenplay - All projects fall into one of three
categories: Short Length (15 minutes/pages or less), Medium Length
(between 15 and 60 minutes/pages), Feature Length (over 60 minutes/pages).
Sitcom pilots are welcome in the Medium Length category.
Webisode entries should submit one entry in the category
that corresponds to the total length of their submission. If you submit multiple webisodes, please make sure that the credits play only once: opening credits at the top, closing credits at the very end. That way your submission will be counted as one film instead of several.
Film Submissions: DVDs in NTSC form are the preferred format for
submitting film entries. Please preview your DVD before submitting it to make sure it plays correctly.
Screenplay Submissions: Scripts must be
submitted in a hard copy in standard industry format, three hole
punch fastened with brads.
No Budget Competition: Films that meet the following requirements will also be considered
for our “no budget” film competition:
- No Budget shorts: budget under $750
- No Budget features: budget under $10,000
“Budget” here is understood to be
the hard cash the filmmaker shelled out to actually make the film.
This could be tapes, food and gas for crew, or any expendables.
This DOES NOT include any investment in equipment, hardware or
software programs bought along the way that be used to make other
films.
Legacy Shorts: This category is only open to alumnae of the festival. There is no fee. Your film must follow the rules listed on the home page or here. Please send a film with the application form by May 31, 2010.
SUPPORTING MATERIALS:
- All entries must complete a submission form by downloading
and printing a hard copy from the Broad Humor Film Festival
website.
- All entries must include the following supporting materials on a CD or in some other digital format: a 30-word summary of the film or script for the program; for films, at least one (1) color production still
for film submissions. A second black-and-white production
still is encouraged. Photos should have a resolution of 300dpi.
IMPORTANT: Make sure all the file names on
your disc begin with the same keyword, preferably from the title
of your submission. Simply saying "production photo"
risks having your photo lost or placed in another project file.
Put the same keyword title on everything, especially everything digital.
Payment: Entries may pay through the Withoutabox.com system, or using the PayPal link on the website or by including a check or money order for the appropriate
entry fee amount in US$ which is non-refundable,
payable to: BROAD HUMOR FILM FESTIVAL.
