Questions
Can I enter now?
Not yet. Sign up and we will write to you when entries open and the official rules are published. Signing up is not an entry.
What do I need?
A film at any stage with something to show: a trailer, teaser or proof of concept of 90 seconds or less, and the rights to everything in it, music included.
Do I keep my film?
Yes, all of it. Taking part lets the show use your pitch and your trailer in the show and to promote it. Nothing else.
What could I win?
Notes, a champion on the panel, and offers on Deal Day, which judges choose to make or not. The season winner also gets a featured release on OpenFlix, a featured Film Fund campaign and a strategy session.
Can I say who is attached to my film?
Yes, once we have confirmed it with them. Anyone attached can also send a short clip, which is shown as a reveal.
