FAQs

What we do and what we do not do!

  • We do watch your movie and read your script in its entirety and give honest, thoughtful consideration.
  • We do not do any type of public exhibition or display of your movie other than a trailer or approved promotional clips, so your movie will still qualify as a premiere in any festival you choose to submit to.

General Rules

  • The submitter must be directly involved (producer, director, writer) with the project or legally authorized to represent the project submitted;
  • All projects must enter at least one Main Category before entering a Sub-Category. If an entrant only enters a Sub-Category, the submission will be automatically disqualified without a refund;
  • All commercial/private property including all trademark, copyrighted materials shown or recorded on the project is the responsibility of the filmmaker. Influx Magazine will NOT take responsibility for any infringement of copy-written materials;
  • All submissions must be submitted via digital screener (Vimeo, FilmFreeway, other screening service; PDF, Word or Final Draft only for screenplays). We DO NOT accept physical submissions (DVD, Blu-Ray, etc);
  • Award categories are decided at the discretion of INFLUX Magazine and may be subject to change;
  • We do not accept pornography;
  • All reviews and decisions are final.

Deadlines & Fees

Your project must be fully entered with all submission elements received  (application, fee, online screener) on or before the deadline. To be fair to all entrants, we do not offer any fee waivers.

All projects must enter a main category prior to entering a sub-category.
