  • Submissions will not be returned. All submissions and accompanying footage will be available for use by Hendrix College. All films must include 100% original film work.
  • Students may not use copyrighted music. Cover songs of copyrighted music may be used if said cover song was created specifically for your film.
  • Students must complete and submit all necessary submission forms.
  • Films will be showcased to general audiences. As such, the Festival Committee reserves the right to limit the number of films screened.
  • Students may submit a maximum of two entries each year. If both entries are accepted into the festival, they will be paired on the same grouping at random for audience and panel judging.
  • Students are encouraged to use their own camera equipment. A limited number of cameras will be available for students to check out from the SLTC info desk.
  • Cameras may be checked out at the Student Information desk located in the SLTC for 3 days. Students who do not return the equipment after 3 days may be disqualified for the competition in fairness to other contestants. Students may check out the equipment a second time if equipment is not reserved.
  • All participants are encouraged to complete a brief training program on use of the editing equipment. Students who completed this program in previous years do not need to repeat training, unless desired.
  • Usage of graphic language, nudity, and drug/alcohol use in any film is subject to review by the Red Brick Film Festival Committee.
