Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter


RULES
VISCERA FILM FESTIVAL | VISCERA WOMEN | VISCERA PROJECT | MYSPACE

 

The Chainsaw Mafia accepts films in two categories.

1. Women Directed and/or Produced Films.

The gender ratio must be at least 50/50. At least one of the Director/Producer positions must be attained by the female gender. Men may work on the film, (and even hold a Director or Producer title), but a female must assume the other position. This is called equality.

*Please note that the Chainsaw Mafia is not sexist, whatsoever. Trans gendered women or those who identify strongly with the female gender are encouraged to apply.Chainsaw Mafia Film Festivals happen from time to time in which men and women are encouraged to enter!




2. Women-Only Productions consisting completely of the female gender.

Every single woman in pre-production, production, and post production must be of the female gender. This type of submitted production is open to receive the VISCERA AWARD, which was created to facilitate more women working together in the genre.

Length

VISCERA currently only accepts shorts. The submitted films may range from 30 seconds to 30 minutes. The Chainsaw Mafia suggests that beginning filmmakers start out small (30 seconds to 5 minutes) in order to create quality, not quantity.

 

Submission Fee

There is no submission fee for filmmakers.

 

Format

Each film must be in DVD format, with name and length of the Film and Filmmakers contact info (phone number and email) written on the DVD itself. If selected, each filmmaker will be required to send in a mini DV tape of the submitted film for distribution.

 

Paperwork

Each film must be submitted with the Filmmakers Submission Forms which includes a Non Exclusive Agreement that must be turned in as well. If you are unable to sign the agreement, you may not submit to the Viscera Film Festival because TCM must be allowed to send your films to our Sponsors. If you would still like your film to be recognized by the Mafia, send us a DVD here.
