Criteria For Submission
Films are welcome to cover a variety of sub-topics and themes as long as they center the erotic stories of Queer and Trans folks with intersecting marginalized identities, including BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), disabled folks, fat folks, and sex workers.
What We’re Looking For
We are extra interested in films including the themes of transfemme experiences, immigrant narratives, political resistance, Black pleasure, & bodily autonomy.
Requirements
Your film must meet all of the following criteria.
- Film contains erotic content, nudity, BDSM/kink, and/or commentary on sex work. Explicit sex is welcome, but not required.
- Film centers the erotic stories of LGBTQIA+ folks
- Film is between 2-10 minutes long. A shortened edit of a longer film may also be submitted.
- English subtitles are provided with the final film (.srt file preferred).
Screening Fees
A screening fee to compensate filmmakers will be provided for each accepted film. DRIP commits to a minimum stipend of $50 per accepted film, but we hope to pay more– dependent on fundraising success.
Submission Fees
The suggested submission fee is $3-$10 per film, which goes entirely towards paying selected filmmakers for use of their film.
However, no films will be turned away for inability to pay a submission fee.
Paying a submission fee does not provide any guarantees of your film’s acceptance.
Submission fees can be sent to:
- Zelle: Colorblockfilms@protonmail.com
- Cashapp: $Juicyfruitoran (https://cash.app/$juicyfruitoran)
Please either write “birthday party” or put a cake emoji in the subject line
*If you need to send via Paypal or Venmo, please email dripfilmfestival@gmail.com
**Please only send your submission fee(s) as a single payment with the total amount for all the films you are submitting.
i.e. if you are submitting two films at $5 each, please send $10 one time instead of two separate $5 transactions.
