How to Submit Your Movie Trailer on FilmProposals

How to Submit Your Movie Trailer on FilmProposals

We've had to delete dozens of submissions lately as they did not meet our requirements, so here's a quick reminder for how to be accepted into the FilmProposals New Movie Trailer Showcase:

Your page must look professional and complete if you want to impress potential investors. Any submission not in compliance will not be published. New Movies Trailer Showcase instructions:

  1. Enter the name of your film with "Movie Trailer" (not in quotes) at the end. If your film name is "The Godfather" the title should be, "The Godfather Movie Trailer"
  2. The introduction must be a full paragraph, not a one liner or your Movie Trailer. It must be one full 3-4 sentence teaser about your film. " See how the Movies Trailer Showcase appears on this page to understand why.
  3. Tell us about your film, script, production company, where you are in the financing process, etc.
  4. You MUST EMBED your video on our site to create a New Movies Trailer page. This means the video MUST reside on the FilmProposals website. The new movie trailer and video player must be in your submission. Links to other sites will not be honored and your submission will be automatically deleted or moved to the Film Pitch page. Our investors will not go to your website, Facebook or MySpace pages. They will ONLY watch videos on FilmProposals.
  5. The easiest way to submit a your new movies trailer is by uploading your film to YouTube, copying the "embed" code from them and putting it here. You can also get your code from Free Video Coding. You must use a video Width of "450" and a Height of "300".
