Submit Your Film
We are constantly reviewing potential films for us to edit in
our six-week course, and we relish the opportunity to work with
new filmmakers. We encourage interested directors to submit
their work for consideration and are more than happy to discuss
questions about possible submissions over the phone.

Submission Guidelines
FOR FEATURE-LENGTH NARRATIVES
1. A printed copy of the script.
2. Two to three shooting tapes (DV-CAM, mini-DV, or VHS format).
We ask for complete shooting tapes so that we can get a sense
of the coverage (in quantity and in style) of the film. If you
shot on video, these should be direct dubs of the shooting tapes
that were in the camera. If you shot on film, these should be
two to three tapes' worth of telecined footage.
3. A breakdown of all scenes by number; in adjacent columns, please
list how many camera angles and takes were shot to cover the scene.
4. A separate sheet of paper with the following information: a)
shooting format; b) format of sound files (please indicate if
sunk); c) presence of script supervision notes; d) names of cast
of crew.
5. Any other materials
you think we might find useful in getting a sense of your film.
This includes, but certainly is not limited to: FCP logs, a trailer
or any already-cut scenes, promotional materials for the film,
etc.
FOR FEATURE-LENGTH DOCUMENTARIES
1. A detailed synopsis of the expected storyline.
2. Two to three shooting tapes (DV-CAM, mini-DV, or VHS format).
We ask for complete shooting tapes so that we can get a sense
of the raw footage. If you shot on video, these should be direct
dubs of the tapes that were in the camera. If you shot on film,
these should be two to three tapes' worth of telecined footage.
3. A plan for dividing the footage among the students. This is
obviously a bit trickier in a documentary than a narrative and
should basically be an outline for how to divide the footage into
10-20 logical segments (ie verite scenes, chronological sections,
thematic subdivisions, etc).
4. A separate sheet of paper with the following information: a)
a brief synopsis of the film; b) number of hours of shot footage;
c) names of crew and collaborators.
5. Any other materials
you think we might find useful in getting a sense of your film.
This includes, but certainly is not limited to: FCP logs, a trailer
or any already-cut scenes, promotional materials for the film,
etc.
