How to Enter
Entries must be
submitted on DVD in NTSC format only. Each film must be accompanied by a
completed entry form and an entry fee. Checks
should be made out to: Grease Bomb, LLC. Please send 2
copies of your film on DVD. Films will not be returned (unless you really
need them back). Films selected for the festival are placed in the Official
NYC Food Film Festival Archive and may be used for promotional purposes. If your film is
selected, you must be able to provide the NYC Food Film Festival with up to
(but not limited to) 3 excellent production stills to be distributed to the
press and for use on the festival website. It probably goes without saying,
but the best stills get the best exposure. If your film has a link to a
trailer online that is a bonus. There is no limit
to the number of films you may enter. There is also no restriction on the
date your film was completed.
ALL GENRES are eligible for entry (documentary, animation, narrative,
instructional, food porn É) Entry Fees
$35 for feature
films (55 minutes and over), $30 for shorts (under 55 minutes, but longer
than 3 mins), $20 for super-shorts (under 3 minutes). All entries

being shown. A Director or representative from the film able to attend their
screening is a plus. If your film is
