Frequently Asked Questions
Can I submit to ANIMAZE via paper/email/ air mail?
We accept submissions that go through our FilmFreeway.com profile. It is difficult to keep track of films when there’s no electronic record of a submission, it makes addressing potential unforeseen problems. If you would like to send a high-quality version by mail you may do so after submitting to FilmFreeway, but please note that shipping will be at your own expense.
How will we be notified*?

Please make sure you submit a wetransfer downloadable version hi res - ( less than 2 GB ) As we have a very short window to take submissions and green it we must receive all submissions via a Vimeo link for review as well and as a wetransfer film file.
We also suggest a permanent contact be used as the primary submitter and that a phone number and email address always associated with the production be used.
