IN-PROGRESS (2018-19) SENIOR THESIS FILMS
Current seniors can submit their in-progress 2018-19 senior thesis films to the festival.
These submissions can be:
- A complete part of an incomplete project
- A rough draft/cut of a film with wrapped principal photography
- A project completed early
- Unlike General Submissions with a Submission Open date of August 27th and a Submission Close date of January 1st, 2018-19 Senior Thesis Films may be submitted at any time between January 2nd and March 2nd.
- Moderation and Judging will be slightly expedited for these films, but knowing that there will only be 15 or less films to watch, each no longer than 30 minutes, moderators and judges for each film will be selected in advance and prepared to decide participants for the festival over spring break (March 3-11).
- The senior thesis films will premiere with all other films.
Senior Thesis Film submissions are currently closed.
