We are now accepting submissions for FilmOneFest 2010!

All films and videos must be no longer than 60 seconds in length and submitted as digital files in one of the following formats:

QuickTime (preferred), AVI, FLV, MP2 or 4, or WMV.  

All videos must be NTSC (sorry, we cannot process PAL videos at this time).  We highly suggest you submit uncompressed files so that quality is not lost during processing.  Files can be submitted on CD, DVD, emailed or uploaded.  The deadlines and fees for submissions are: March 31 (Earlybird - $20), April 30 (Regular - $25), and May 31 (Late - $30), and June 15 (WAB Extended - $35). Students receive a $5 discount off the Regular, Late and WAB Extended fees. Filmmakers who pre-purchase WAB
Discount Packs also receive a $5 discount. All submissions must be registered through Withoutabox (WAB) - registration is fast and free, simply click on the WAB button at the bottom of this page to start the process.  If you have any questions, please email Bob Mataranglo, Administrator of Programming/Technical Services at bobmatar@yahoo.com.

You can send us your film in one of two ways:

1) Mail CDs or DVDs to:

FilmOneFest c/o AHAC
PO Box 236
Atlantic Highlands, NJ 07716

We prefer that you send us just the video files (without menus).  If you would like your CD or DVD returned, you must include a self-addressed stamped envelope, otherwise it will be discarded after processing.

2) Email your video to bobmatar@yahoo.com using YouSendIt.com or similar file sharing service or MAC users can upload their files using Apple's iDisk file share feature (use your Finder, Click on "Go", "iDisk", "Other User's Public Folder", type in user name "rjocon" and drop your file into the public folder).  Make sure to email bobmatar@yahoo.com to inform us that you have uploaded the file to the public folder.  Be sure to include your name, title of your film, and WAB entry number in all emails.

All entries must be submitted under one of the following categories: "Student" (for filmmakers who are currently enrolled in high school or an accredited college}, "ONE" (for films with themes about unity and community), "Bayshore" (for films from filmmakers from the Bayshore region of NJ and/or films about the Bayshore), and "Open"  (for all other films including animation, experimental and narrative works - if you are unsure which category to submit under, submit under "Open").  All films are judged independent of category.
