    Hey, it's nice to know about this with only 37 days left until the entry deadline. I'm sure that amateur/budding film makers can find the few hundred thousands of dollars in backing they need from investors, gather actors, scripts, props, film crews, arrange permission and licenses to film in necessary areas, chop, process and edit the films, package them up and submit them in just 37 days. No problem!

    Sundance Film Festival will not accept entries that are currently available to the public through a website or any other showcase platforms.

    So you have to produce it specifically for the 'net, but you're not allowed to post it on your own website (at least not until after the film festival).

    It kinda makes sense, but mostly it just makes me cringe.
