Santa Fe Film Festival Uses High Quality Streaming Video Platform to Extend Submission Deadline

(PRLEAP.COM) Santa Fe, New Mexico – “According to the EPA the United States produces 2 million tons of eWaste every year which is one reason we support and encourage filmmakers to submit their films on line, rather then sending DVDS which ends up as eWaste”, said Stephen Rubin of the Santa Fe Film Festival. “Unfortunately, the initiative was delayed so we decided to extend the submission deadline to September 26 for filmmakers who may have missed the deadline, as a way of building momentum for on line submissions for next year, green filmmaking and empowering filmmakers with the opportunity to acquire their own distribution channel”, continued Rubin.

When asked how filmmakers can submit on line and get their own high quality distribution platform, Rubin explained, “Filmmakers just need to go to http://santafefilmfestival.com/Online_Submissions and watch a short video presentation using the same technology they’ll use to submit, or distribute their films and then enter their contact information and we will call them back and step them through the process. When asked about the broadcast technology, Rubin said; “The technology is absolutely fantastic. First the quality is the best I have ever seen! Second it is a stream, so there is no risk to filmmakers’ distribution rights and third it is a no buffering technology. This means that filmmakers can submit a film of any length and once it starts to play it will finish without any need to pause in the middle. The technology is truly extraordinary”.

“We really believe that there are two major trends in independent filmmaking; 1) green filmmaking and 2) empowering independent filmmakers with the ability to take control over their films distribution. We believe that by adopting this technology that the Santa Fe Film Festival is taking a leadership position in both areas”.
