Thank you for considering The Eighth Annual Tylerman International Film Festival hosted by Cantigny Park.

In order to receive a cash prize in this festival you must pay the $25 entry fee. I have no problem offering the discount but if you don't think enough of your film to invest $25, winning $300 to $500 isn't fair to the other participants.

Films will be judged on: Originality, Screenplay, Direction, Acting, Cinematography, Sound, Editing, and the Judges personal score. Submissions are non-refundable. Once selected, you will be notified and your film must be submitted via MP4 Format 1920x1080 or 4K to Tylermanfilms@gmail.com. I need all films and artwork by June 1st, 2023.
