For those filmmakers who have already submitted films and are on the festival circuit, we have chosen to take the Seed & Spark Festival Survival pledge. Our festival along with hundreds of others across the world are adapting the rules for this year\u2019s event. Any film screened through a ticketed virtual film festival in 2020 will still be eligible.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Simply put, we understand there are enough challenges to getting films made and then getting a film festival to consider them, so if\u00a0we can help even a little bit by removing other obstacles to having a filmmaker\u2019s films considered by as many film festivals as possible, then we are happy to do that.<\/p>\n
