· Please keep your good shorts to 20 minutes or less. 

· All entries must be in English or have English subtitles.

· Please submit all entries through FilmFreeway.

· Entry fees are non-refundable.

· Shorts entered can include budgetary needs IN THE SHORT SUBMITTED (a critical difference in HOW THIS FILM FESTIVAL is different), expected business success, and showcase viability for financial achievement. This helps potential investors to understand why your short SHOULD BE FUNDED and made into a full-length feature film.

By participating in the USPSC International Film Festival, artists/directors grant the festival the right to use the entire short, still frames of their submitted and selected works for promotional purposes on the festival's website, TV programs, visual art websites, and event venues. This festival is about selling your major film idea and getting funded. Indeed, the audience of investors should be delighted.

Additionally, the artist/director grants the following authorizations:

-The use of the entire short for promotion worldwide, forever, or until such times that circumstances negate this commitment. If your major film is made, we will own nothing of that. That deal would be between you and the financier. We would hold NO RIGHTS to your full-length feature film.

-Inclusion of the film in the USPSC International Film Festival's commercial online archive.

-Screening of the film at film festivals affiliated with the USPSC International Film Festival's partner networks.

-Onsite showcase in our theater at the Presidential Center.

-Originality: Films submitted should be the original work of the filmmakers, and they should hold the necessary rights to all elements included in the film and model releases. The person submitting has full rights to submit their short.

-Copyrights: Filmmakers must have obtained all necessary copyrights and permissions for any music, images, or other copyrighted material used in the film.

-Entrants are encouraged to showcase how their ultimate, full-length feature film will have ROI for an investment fund, where it will do best (either in geographic theaters or on a particular streaming network) to achieve profitability. Since shorts are limited to 20 minutes or less, one or two minutes of the short can address these Paramount issues. These may include the major request for funding, the total amount, marketing, branding, promotion, publicity, advertising, and sales cycle of the proposed large movie and how it shall use adrenaline to punch forward, leaping into the air swinging forward to attain cash rich status for the benefit of investors and ultimately - consumer product good sales. Consumer product goods (CPG) that are mass replicated and sold can be showcased in a forward-looking financial direction or reversed for the filmmaker and his/her large movie.

1. Explain a Reverse Situation: The recent Barbie movie spent 64 years of toys and dolls when the first movie was made in 2023. The CPG sales attained are in the billions.

2. Explain a Forward Situation: Diolase Nzinga Ramazani decides he will make a film about President Obama's summit held in Africa and cuts an 18-minute long short showcasing theater sales projecting 32 African countries using English with French subtitles and a streaming proposal with Netflix. His CPG offering would be a commemorative coin struck and sold.
