Category Rules

This category accepts ONLY comedy films. The runtime for this category should be between 1 and 20 minutes. Submissions are accepted on NTSC-DVD or as a secure online screener. Please label all discs (directly on the disc) clearly with your name, contact information, submission number and running time. Be sure we can connect your electronic submission with your mailed media.

If you want include a pre-stamped, addressed, postcard we will put it in the mail when we receive your submission. If you put enough postage on it and self-address it correctly you should receive it. This only shows we received your submission.

If selected, an exhibition-quality NTSC/DVD or BluRay (Region Free) must be made available to the festival by May 1, 2015. Exact technical requirements will be e-mailed to all accepted film-makers with their acceptance notifications.

Selected directors will also be asked for press kits including still photos, a brief description, a YouTube or Vimeo based trailer/teaser, plus any other supporting materials with their exhibit copy. E-mail is best for the press kit. We will print what we need.

Final programming decisions will be made by the screening committee in
April. All entrants will be notified by email through WithOutABox of the status of their submission by April 15, 2015. If you add us to your address box you should see our email, info@GeNerk.com.

Please be sure to check your spam mails, and log into your WithOutABox account consistently throughout the submission period as all communication will be handled via withoutabox.com and e-mail.
