Hello all,
I have a few questions I wonder if you could help me with. I am working on a fan film short, and realize that legally it's not allowed to make any kind of profit. I've been told, though, that they are also not allowed in film festivals because they are based on copyrighted work. However, I see fan films being nominated for short film festivals and other events all the time.
Do you have any experience with fan films? And if so, do you know if they are in fact allowed to be submitted to smaller festivals? Either way, are there certain criteria or stipulations for whether or not they can be excepted?
Thanks in advance.
