+ The theme for the festival and for all submissions is the Neo-Futurist tenant of Honesty*
+ All plays must be 3 minutes or less.
+ Unless your play violates our policy, the first 100 submissions will automatically added to the lineup. First come, first serve.
+ The screening will be free to the public, and there is not financial compensation for submitting a play. However, we will include names and bios on our digital program and your work will be seen by 100+ strangers.
*Honesty. When we perform, we play ourselves, not fictional characters. We make art from our personal experiences. We use our real names and tell true stories. The things we do on stage or on film are actual tasks, not acting. We don’t pretend to do things we’re not actually doing. Rather than pretending to be tired, we’ll run laps on camera to make us tired. Neo-Futurist performance means that you either do or cannot do the tasks you set for yourself.
Want to make an abstract dance piece by a dumpster? Awesome. Documentary about how many shrimp you can eat? Incredible.
