Sundance 2007 Submission Deadlines
The Sundance website lists the requirements and deadlines for the upcoming festival. Films should be submitted to Sundance on a single DVD, packaged in an industry-standard, 5 1/4" x 7 1/2" plastic DVD case (the same type that most retail DVDs are packaged in). DVDs must be compatible with standard set-top DVD players -- do NOT simply burn a quicktime or AVI file to a disc as data. Make sure that your disc plays in a standard DVD player before you mail it in! They don't want fancy artwork -- and absolutely NO paper label on your disc!

To be honest, I am a bit upset about the deadlines this year. The early submission deadline will pass while we're still in Zambia filming. We return to the U.S. on September 4, 2006. The LATE deadline is a scant three weeks later. We're going to have to work like crazy to get the films ready. I was so hoping that BAD T!MING (the first Zambian dramatic narrative) and the documentary VOICE OF AN AFRICAN NATION would debut at Sundance but it's going to be dang tough to hit that date.
