Entry Tips
The Lux Mea Film Festival is dedicated to illuminating the truth through story-telling. We place special value on the ultimate truths illustrated through human experience portrayed by the artistic creativity of the film maker. Consider the following tips to increase your chance of being chosen:
- Story is Key: In a format as short as this, your storyline must be tight and the pacing strategic.
- Keep it Moving: The inciting incident must happen in the first 15-30 seconds for a short film.
- This Isn’t a Home Movie: Every background, every setting must add to the story. Consider the composition of every shot and never underestimate the value of a tripod.
- Storytellers Matter: Cast actors who can actually tell your story, not just your best friend.
- Listen Carefully: Pay careful attention to your film’s sound. You can’t always fix it in post!
- Stay Legal: Do not use any copyrighted music, footage, logos, or images that you have not secured the right to use.
- Keep it Short, Sweet, and to the Point! These are short films, after all.
