Submission Terms
Exhibition license. If selected, you grant Reel Fear a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to screen your work at any festival or venue where the Reel Fear installation operates. This does not transfer ownership of rights or restrict distribution elsewhere.
Prior notification. Before any screening, you will receive an email with the festival name, location, dates and exhibition format.
No fee. Participation involves no submission fee or licensing fee. Selected filmmakers receive no monetary compensation at this stage.
Audience Award. One selected work receives the Reel Fear Audience Award (prize to be confirmed per edition). The winner also receives the Dramabeats Award: a script or production consultation, at the winner's choice.
