We hope everyone has fun and enjoys themselves at the festival but a few suggestions...

Please submit as soon as possible. The process goes a lot smoother if we are not sent a lot of films at the last minute. THANKS!
This is a short film festival for films 20 minutes or less in length.

This year, we are strongly encouraging entrants to submit a link to private YouTube or Vimeo screener not a hard-copy of the film. If you must submit a hardcopy please use a paper DVD sleeve. When packaging, protect the DVD in a padded envelope, or similar package. Please DO NOT send your dvd in a slim, jewel, or standard DVD case, they almost always break in shipping.

Please note that the ONLY difference in the early submission deadline versus the final submission deadline is the fee discount. The submission process and consideration by the Programming Committee is not affected by the date you submit your film as long as it is postmarked by our final deadline - your chances are equal regardless of the day your film makes it into our offices, as long as it is postmarked by the final deadline!

ALL films submitted to the festival are seen and scored by two or more different programmers. All films that have a higher average, or are a favorite of a programmer, go on to final deliberations. GeNerk selects its films by majority vote and nothing is offered early acceptance.

Film Submissions are non-returnable for any reason.

If a film is accepted, entrants will be solely responsible for delivering their exhibition video materials to and from the festival venue. Complete press kits will be needed as soon after notification as possible. GeNerk cannot be held liable for your exhibition print/video materials which are lost or damaged.
Please note festival dates are subject to change.

Unfortunately, GeNerk does not provide room, board or travel for filmmakers.

Spectrum Film & Television Festival

Akron, United States


We are currently seeking feature film, short film, TV and web series submissions for Spectrum, a new digital distribution website we are building where people can buy, watch and stream independent film and television content with their friends. Our goal is to create an artist-friendly service where visionary creators can sell their unique stories to consumers around the world. The Spectrum Film & Television Festival is an online festival that will coincide with the launch of our website in August 2016. We hope you'll be able to join us in the creation of this exciting new platform!
