Are you a filmmaker ready to screen your work in front of new audiences? If so, apply today to be a part of the 2012 - 2013 Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers.

Southern Circuit is the nation’s first regional tour of independent filmmakers, providing communities in a nine-state region in the South with an interactive way to experience independent film and engage with indie filmmakers. The tour utilizes an intimate context to connect audiences with filmmakers and films they might not otherwise have the opportunity to see. Films, including animation, documentaries, experimental and narrative work, can be submitted for consideration for the Circuit through an annual nationwide open call for submissions. 

Southern Circuit is open to any filmmaker living in the United States with a valid driver’s license. Filmmakers may submit a feature-length work or a group of short films whose combined time reaches feature length - at least 45 minutes with a maximum of 120 minutes.

Apply here! The application deadline is Wednesday February 15, 2012. Early Bird Registration ends Tuesday January 31, 2012.
