Every topic we run has to be of interest to our readers and provide some direct context to our mission with this blog. If you think you can muster up an article, post or resource like that, then you’re just the person we’re looking for![/pt_vc_addon__text][pt_vc_addon__empty_space margin_lg=”50″ margin_md=”50″ margin_xs=”50″ el_class=”” version=”1″][pt_vc_addon__title tag=”h4″ text=”Here are some quirks:” hidden_markup_1=”” align=”left” max_width=”” typography=”default” text_size_type=”default” mediaquery_md=”” mediaquery_sm=”” mediaquery_xs=”” animation=”” color__text=”” el_class=”” version=”1″][pt_vc_addon__empty_space margin_lg=”10″ margin_md=”10″ margin_sm=”10″ margin_xs=”10″ el_class=”” version=”1″]

Not to mention, we screen our contributors for immediate promotion into the Film Club. And sometimes we give away merch and free film stock. These instances are extremely rare, because we are a non-profit. Yet, we try to show our appreciation as much as we can. You can also use this platform to promote whatever projects or products you may want to introduce to our readers (as long as it relates to filmmaking).[/pt_vc_addon__text]

If you send it, we’ll read it! And you’ll get a response too. However:
- It may take 1-2 weeks before we get to your submission.
- Please wait at least 2 weeks before re-submitting.
- Our publication schedule tends to be long. You may have to wait several months to get your work published. That being said, if we love your article, we might rush it through the schedule to post within a week of reviewing it.
