Question 1

What films are accepted?

Accepted Answer

Any independent film project you've created! We review shorts, features, music videos, documentaries, festival films—it's your film, we just want to help you promote it.

Question 2

What do I get from a review?

Accepted Answer

Written Indie Film Reviews
Share your film with us and after a thoughtful watch or two, we’ll craft a review of your film focusing on both technical skills and storytelling prowess. We’ll post your review (and the imagery you provide) on our website, and share the copy (upon request) to use in any promotional materials you see fit.

Short Films (anything less than 45:00): $60
Feature Films (anything longer than 45:01): $85

Episode Sponsorship Add-On
Since we’ll have already watched your film, take your online exposure up a notch by also getting a shout-out at the start of an Indie Film Podcast episode at a discounted rate. In addition to a written online review, you’ll get all the perks of a classic episode sponsorship.

Short Films (anything less than 45:00) with Sponsorship: $260
Feature Films (anything longer than 45:01) with Sponsorship: $285​
​
Indie Film Review Videos
Jump start your film’s promotions with all the perks of our classic written review, plus a video review from the Indie Film Podcast hosts. Video reviews will range from 5 to 10 minutes, and will be hosted on our YouTube channel in perpetuity (unless you ask us to take it down). This will include an additional backlink and your film’s logline included in the YouTube description, which we’ll optimize for maximum visibility. You'll retain a copy of both the written review and the video review for your records, or to use in any promotional materials for your film.

Video + Written Review (any film length): $375

Social Media Add-On
Exclusive to the Video + Written Review we’re offering an additional Social Media package add-on where we’ll share a promotion about your film on our social media platforms. You'll need to provide the imagery for the post, but can have up to 5 images shared (at our discretion) including your poster. This will include excerpts from our written review, as well as the logline for your film (that you provide for us).

Video + Written Review (any film length) + Social Media Add-On: $425

Question 3

What are the content guidelines?

Accepted Answer

We do NOT accept, review, or promote any submissions that depict/promote any of the following:

Any graphic/violent sexual activities or exploitation of minor children 
Hate speech/intolerance
Actual cruelty to animals 
Actual commission of any misdemeanor or felony crimes (specifically as defined by Idaho State Code)
Overtly political/religious/extremist viewpoints

We do understand that context matters, for example: We would gladly review a documentary about the impacts or existence of child trafficking. We would absolutely NOT review a film that romanticizes actual minors (read: NOT actors) being trafficked or hurt. We're not into snuff/abuse films, and you probably wouldn't like our review anyway.

All review fees are non-refundable and non-transferrable, so please don't submit your project if you know it doesn't meet our content guidelines. If you're at all concerned, please feel free to email us with any questions about the content of your film first.

Question 4

How much does a review cost?

Accepted Answer

That depends on the length of your film, and the promotional package you choose!

Written Review: Short Films (anything less than 45:00): $60
Written Review: Feature Films (anything longer than 45:01): $85
Written Review + Sponsorship: Short Films (anything less than 45:00): $260
Written Review + Sponsorship: Feature Films (anything longer than 45:01): $285
Video + Written Review (any film length): $375
Video + Written Review (any film length) + Social Media Add-On: $425

All fees are applicable to one (1) film only and are non-refundable/non-transferrable.

Question 5

What is your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

All review fees are non-refundable and non-transferrable, so please don't submit your project if you know it doesn't fit our guidelines! (And if you're worried, you can always email us your logline/details to ask.)

Question 6

What if I don't like my review?

Accepted Answer

This will be an honest review of your film; we'll be highlighting all our favorite parts, but if there are glaring issues, we'll call those out, too. However, if you are concerned about the content of your review, we will be happy to remove it from our site if you ask.
