Assdance Film Festival submissions open early!

While we have certainly been incredibly busy planning out what is sure to become the best underground film festival in New York City, if not of all time, we have been anxiously awaiting the chance to see the work of all the rejected filmmakers eager to submit! Well, enough is enough! We can't wait any longer; imaging all those wonderful, beautiful, terrifying, and hilarious rejected films out there, never able to receive a proper premiere has gotten our mouths watering. (Details below, in the not-so-small print as to how to submit!)

Ok, so here's the deal. Since we are an actual 'underground' film festival, we will be going about things in a bit of a early 2000's festival entry type of way. No withoutabox for us this year. Why? Because we don't know how else to do it! However, we kept things simple.

First:

We strongly encourage you, the rejected filmmaker, to email us at Assstudios@gmail.com, introducing yourself, briefly explaining your film, information on what festivals it has been rejected from, contact info, and letting us know that its in the mail. This email is important as we will respond with an important PDF file outlining the festival entry policies which you should know. (Only DVD's will be considered. If the DVD does not work on our equipment, we will be in touch. So don't sweat it! We understand shit happens sometimes. We are not responsible for shipping costs, however if selected, you will make back that money plus some!) We will not open ANY packages without a return address on the envelope OR from filmmakers who have not sent out a previous email. Oh yeah, but most importantly, tell us about your career as an reject filmmaker! We want to be able to profile you and your work in our press release if selected! You will be notified as to whether or not you are once again rejected or finally accepted by April 15th!

Second:

Burn your DVD, tell your friends, cross your fingers, and send it to the address marked below.

Courtney Fathom Sell

122 Orchard St. Apt. #19, New York, NY 10002

(Our interns will handle the rest. The panel will not view any film that is not viewed by them first in order to prevent the fair share of expected monkey-business! ;)

Third:

Say your prayers! Once again, we will be in touch with you if we do not receive your film once email has been sent out and on April 15th if you are accepted! We cannot wait to see your rejects! So get your films out to us! Thanks!
