Want to send us your film to be considered for our slate? Are you a festival wanting to view some of the films we represent? Want us to attend your festival in an industry capacity? Anything else that’s not covered in our FAQs? Then head below and fill in our form.

The Festival Formula team are gearing up for their festive break! We will be away from the desk as of 5pm GMT 20th December, and return fresh-faced on 6th January 2025. All inboxes will be checked sparingly over this time so do expect a delay in our response.

We wish you all a festive time and a great impending New Year!

If you are a filmmaker wanting to send us your film to be considered for our slate do acknowledge the following:

We are only looking for films completed after 1st January 2024 right now - if in doubt always ask us. We are also only accepting live action and animation short films under 30mins, and documentary short films under 40mins. We are not accepting features.

Your film will then go through our review process which is as follows; one of our team will watch your film and provide feedback for free. If we feel we can be of benefit to your project we will invite you to book a video call with us (which is still free). You will also receive feedback if we are passing on your film.

Please note that our feedback is an assessment of how well the film can be received on a competitive circuit from our strategy perspective, and our ability to help guide the film. We’ll let you know we’ve received your film, and we aim to get all new films watched within 5 working days from date of confirmation from us..
