Filmmakers, actors, musicians, and screenwriters who live in Connecticut or bordering states may submit any films they were involved in. Films as well as music videos can be new or old. Multiple entries can be submitted by one person, however, a separate entry form and fee is needed for each submission. The time limit for short films is 20 minutes.
