Naming Your Film

Uploading Instructions

  • Do not upload uncompressed .mov files — they are often too large. Use H.264 and export as an .mp4 for the best quality-to-size ratio.
  • Include all materials in one ZIP file. We will compile all of your student short films into a SINGLE SCHOOL SHOWREEL, adhering to the sequence you have provided.
  • Please Download the agreement, fill out the form, and include it in your ZIP file.
  • Upload one ZIP file with the requested materials inside. The maximum file size for the ZIP file is 1 GB.
  • If your file exceeds 1 GB, please split into multiple ZIP files, each no larger than 1 GB.
