FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Thank you for your interest in the "Short Films Wanted!" database. Here
are some of our answers to some of your possible questions:
- What's included in the database?
- Absolutely all the announcement for short filmmakers. Calls from TV
and Internet channels, notices from distributors, buyers and cinemas,
announcements from non-fee festivals and showcases, information on
grants and financing opportunities, etc.
- Is there enough contact information of each listing in your database, so I could contact them directly?
- Yes, we have included all the contact details of the companies listed
in the database, especially their e-mail addresses, as it's the easiest
way to get in touch with them.
- What else do you include in the listing?
- We include: website address, name of the company (title), e-mail
address, contact person, physical address, description, and other
information (submission requirements, deadlines, payment amount,
eligibility, tape format, etc.)
- Are there only festivals and other venues that take fees from filmmakers in the database?
- No, we don't include those who want something from filmmakers on
purpose and who want filmmakers to pay. We believe that they have to
either pay filmmakers or provide them with free exposure and other
opportunities. Festivals and other showcases with fees are not included
in our database.
- What are your sources of information?
- We get it all from searching through the industry publications:
magazines and journals, e-zines and newspapers; different short film
venues and marketplaces; mailing lists and membership organizations;
film groups and professional forums; Internet; directly from the
announcers, from members, and other our contacts.
- Is your information reliable?
- Yes, it's checked twice before we included it into our database.
- How current are your listings and are they regularly updated?
- The database is always current and we add new calls continuously as they appear. Most of the listings are
ongoing (have no deadlines) and don't need to be updated. Each listing in the "Short
Films Wanted!" database has all contact details, so you can always
check with that exact company on their current situation and get
updates.
