MIDLANDS SPOTLIGHT

Midlands film reviews, coverage and awards Terms & Conditions
Submission of material:
You are welcome to submit film projects for reviews and coverage - and Midlands Movies uses these geographical areas as a definition of the Midlands:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midlands
As per our annual awards, we consider a film Midlands-made if OVER 75% of a finished film has been SHOT in the Midlands region. Filmmakers should ensure their film fulfils these requirements before submitting.
To submit a film please send an online video link (& password if required) via our Facebook or Twitter or email to midlandsmovies@yahoo.com
Sending additional press release material (biography, film poster, photos, cast & crew info etc) is encouraged to give context to your project. Reviews are undertaken by a diverse range of volunteer writers within one month of acknowledgement of your submission.
And please ensure all films made by you adhere to copyright standards with respect to intellectual property. Films are scored out of 5 stars (in half star increments).
Conditions of review: Importantly Midlands Movies will only ever review a film once. If a secondary edit, director’s cut or a new version of a film is sent AFTER a review is published, the alternative version will not be reviewed. And owing to resources unfortunately no further feedback can be given.
In that context, we encourage all filmmakers to put their best foot forward in relation to the final film they consider submitting.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing your film!
