How do I upload my film?

This year we are NOT using a festival YouTube channel. Instead we are using a film festival website: Film Freeway. Click here to see this year's site.

Each film should be uploaded to a personal YouTube or Vimeo channel. That link will be shared on the Film Freeway site that has been set up for our festival.
