Important Next Steps
Your film has been accepted to Filmed by Bike, but we need you to complete these steps in order to be included in the festival.
- Send in the final digital format of your film by March 31st
- Send us the highest quality version you have.
- If your film is on Vimeo, set it to be downloadable and notify us – we’ll download it. If it’s already downloadable, you’re all set.
- If your film is hosted on YouTube, you’re all set, we’ll download the highest quality available unless you’d prefer to send a better version before the deadline.
- We recommend using a file transfer service like YouSendIt, HighTail, Dropbox or similar.
- If you need to make modifications to your film, that’s okay. However, if the resulting film is longer, we will be unable to show your film as we are currently at maximum capacity.
- If your film is not received by March 31st, it will not be shown at the festival.
- The email address is Submissions@FilmedByBike.org
