Rules
X-Factor Filmmakers reserves the right to deny any filmmaker’s submitted work. Males can only submit
a video if the film was directed, written, shot, edited or produced by a woman. If the submission is a reel
then the artist must be female. Overly vulgar language or excessively sexual or violent content can
contribute to the decision to reject a video. In addition, if the video is over 15 minutes we cannot accept it.
If your film is over 15 minutes and you would still like to promote it, make a clip or a trailer and add a link
to the work in your 50 word or less blurb. We will contact you to let you know the date that you will be
named The X-Factor Filmmaker of the Week.
