How can I submit my project for Tucson Film & Music Festival 2008?
You can apply and submit now until August 15, 2008. Tucson Film & Music Festival prefers paperless entries submitted via The International Film Festival Submission System (BrigitFest) – on the Web at www.withoutabox.com. If you are a WithoutABox member, you will receive a $5 discount off the entry fee if you use the online application. If not paying by credit card online, download a PDF application for submission to send in with your check/money order.

What format should I use to submit my film?
We only accept Region 1-compatible DVDs or standard speed NTSC VHS tapes for preview. We cannot view PAL or BETA tapes or PAL DVDs. Please be sure to label your DVD or VHS video with the project’s title, contact info and Total Run Time.

If I use the online form at WithoutABox to submit my work, when do you need to have my VHS or DVD screener?
By June 2, 2008 for the early deadline and August 15, 2008 for the extended late deadline. Note that the early entry discount is to reward filmmakers who deliver their films to us early. If you submit your film online and pay the early entry fee, your film must be postmarked by the early entry deadline.

I would love to submit my film to your festival but I am out of funds. Can you waive the submission fee?
Unfortunately, no. TFMF relies on your submissions to put on and promote the festival so that it is a rewarding experience for filmmakers and filmgoers alike. Enter early to take advantage of our early entry fee, and if you are a member of Withoutabox, you will receive a discount on all entry fees.

Are you accepting features?
Yes, we accept Features, Shorts and Music Videos.

My short film is over 20 minutes long, does this mean I can't submit to your festival?
Due to our limited screening times we have determined that short films under 20 minutes suit our festival the best. If you really think that your film is something we have to see, please send a detailed synopsis of your film, along with any other applicable information (past screenings, director bio, etc) to filmfest @ upstairsfilm.com and someone will get back to you. Do not apply or send us a screener – we will let you know if we are interested in previewing your film.

I have three music videos/short films that I want to submit. Can I submit all three on one tape/DVD?
Yes. However, each project you submit must be accompanied by a separate entry form and entry fee.
