The Feature Film Project (0)

The Filmmaker/Producers will receive 25% of the Box Office.

Festival Description

The Feature Film Project presented by MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival is perfect for anyone who would like to screen and market their feature film through an already established cinema network across the USA.

Between March 5 and 8, 2015 one Feature Film will screen in over 100 Art House Cinemas across the United States in the 3rd Annual Feature Film Project. Audiences at each venue will be asked if this film should return to that cinema for a theatrical release in 2015. If the majority vote "yes" then, if the producers and or sales agents choose, the film will return to that cinema for a series of screenings that year.

The Feature Film will be chosen by a selection Committee at Art House Convergence by a panel of Programmers and Owners from some of the leading Art House Cinemas in the USA.

The Terms:

Box Office - The partnering cinemas receive 50% - Filmmakers/Producers (25%) & MANHATTAN SHORT (25%)

Filmmakers/Producers retain 100% of digital download, cable TV and anything outside the box office

The Feature Film Project is about getting a film into as many cinemas as possible.
