    • HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR FILM
    Share your film through Google Drive with davidm@phxfilm.com. Detailed instructions are on the technical specifications page, listed above. Films must finish uploading before deadline!
    You must then complete the submission form below.

    TRAILER AND POSTER
    Having a trailer and poster can really help get eyes on your film. That’s a big reason why we do this, right? A 30 second trailer and an 11x17in (PDF format only!) poster for your film will also be judged for awards. These are optional. If you choose to submit them, they must be submitted the same way your film is. Trailers and posters have an extra 24 hours. They need to be turned in by Monday, September 25th, 2023 at 7pm to be eligible for awards.

    TICKETS FOR THE SCREENING
    Each team receives two tickets to the screening event on Saturday, October 21st, 2023 at the Peoria Film Festival. Additional tickets will be sold online, at the IFP office, or by calling 602.955.6444.
