Gut Check 2009 has concluded. Thanks to all who took part.

Short of the Week is officially kicking off our 1st Gut Check Online Film Contest. We believe there are many great films living online right now that are waiting to be discovered, so we’re inviting every filmmaker to show us your film.

What’s more, our crew of film critics will closely watch your film and then reply with our thoughts and a clear rating. We’re calling this Gut Check, because we have a tendency to be open and honest, so this is a good opportunity to get some genuine feedback on your skills—a rarity in festivals.

At the end of the contest, we will select the winning film which will receive a prime feature here on Short of the Week.

We will be accepting submissions from now until March 31st, 2009. No complicated forms to fill out—just email us your name and a link to the site where we can view your film.

Submission Steps

  1. Email your film link

Rules

  1. Must be short (15min or less, unless it’s REALLY good)
  2. Must be a film (you decide)
  3. Must be online (pretty clear)

    I like the hot air balloon illustration! Who created it?

    The illustration is from the US Library of Congress online catalog. A great resource for public domain imagery—if you can navigate through all the mess.

    I wanted to add that for the Gut Check contest, we’d like to limit the number of submissions to one per filmmaker at this point. So choose your very best!
