Independent filmmakers who wish to have their work reviewed need to follow these guidelines:
1] Please send all inquiries about reviews to editor@mikesfilmtalk.com or mikesfilmtalk@gmail.com. Inquiries should mention film length, genre and story outline. They should also include, if possible, stills from the film. As a minimum we need a trailer and a screener. We will need to see the screener before we can obligate to reviewing the film.
2] After confirmation that Mikes Film Talk will review the film, any hard copy screeners, aka DVD’s need to be sent to PO Box 1113, Lincoln, AR 72744.
3] Online screeners need to be emailed to editor@mikesfilmtalk.com with links to the account along with any passwords. The same applies to any trailers for submission.
4] Films may be any length, however, films under 10 minutes are not encouraged. They can be either short film format or feature length film and should be listed for festival circuit at a minimum. In other words it needs to be a professional film. No YouTube amateur dramatics or, as another website has stated, some sort of political, religious message film. Pornographic AKA Adult Films are also not appropriate for this site.
5] All submissions should be complete films. Nothing in post production, i.e. temporary soundtracks, et al. All should have cast and production information included in either the inquiring email or the posted package.
6] All films in DVD, or blu-ray, format should have proper cases and be in the final packaging.
7] Failure to respond to review links forwarded will result in further requests being denied. We are reviewing your work for free, acknowledgment of the review is the least we require in terms of recompense.
8] Images should be sent via email with photographer credits attached. Image sizes should be large and cannot be smaller than large and JPG. *This is for social network interface. I will work with you here. If all the images that are submitted are too small we cannot use them.
9] Mike’s Film Talk reserves the right to refuse any films that do not fit the guidelines. Please let us know of any embargoes.
