The Film Requirements
The film should be no longer than 5 minutes including credits. The film needs to represent one of this year’s film categories and reflect this year’s theme [Anything is Possible]. All of the film’s content should be original work–this includes any music and any logos or artwork. Check our resources page for tips and ideas on how to find or create original work or use media from the public domain. The film should be completely created by students with help and guidance from a teacher. Student teams should be at least two people but no more than five people. If approved to represent the school by the principal, the film should be burned to a DVD and labeled as described on our DVD submission page. Every student team member will need to have a Student Video Release form completed and submitted.
Rules for Film Entry
The content of the movie must comply with a “G” rating and be suitable for all audiences. The content must also be suitable for viewing in the classroom as deemed appropriate at the sole discretion of our Film Festival Reviewing Committee. (The committee reserves the right to disqualify a movie based on their sole discretion).
• No violence or stunt work, or anything dangerous should be attempted for these films. Basically anything you can’t do at school, should not be attempted for the film.
• The content of the film must be original or public domain or have the written permission or fall under fair use. Do not film students or kids not on the team. Ask adults for permission to film them prior to filming them. Respect people’s privacy.
• The film must be made by the Evergreen School District students on the team and their original work evident in the production. A student can only be on one film team.
• The film must not be longer than 5 minutes, including credits.
• The film, submission form, and the student release documents, must all be complete, appropriately formatted, and submitted on time to be qualified for entry. Be sure to register on time as well.
• Once submitted, the contestants/participants grant Evergreen School District the right to publish the movie in part or in whole in any medium.
