ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

There is no entry fee to submit! Submit as many films as you like. Any genre is accepted.

Once a Week online film festival is a weekly showcase of short indie films under 15 minutes. All films showcased come directly from submissions. Every Wednesday at 10pm eastern time the highest rated film will be shown on the homepage and will remain for an entire week. Each selected film will stay on the channel forever and as the festival grows will receive more and more views. The first film was shown on September 6th, 2010.

GENERAL RULES

All films must be under 15 minutes including credits and must follow regular youtube submission rules. Each film submitted will be rated by our judges on a very specific 1-10 scale(films will generally not be given just a 7 or 8 but a 7.6 or 8.2 etc.)
and be in consideration for an entire year. Depending on the week, the highest rated film will be showcased, so if the submitted film does not show right away there is a chance it could in a month or two depending on the quality of competition. After one year the submitted film will officially be out of competition and no longer considered.
