Submission review times will vary, and final decision notices are typically sent within four (4) months of submission. We send decline notifications on a rolling basis, and will contact you directly by phone or email if your film is shortlisted to go into the next round of consideration (please note: a phone call is just a next step in shortlisting and does not mean your film has been accepted. Films have only been accepted once they have been sent an Official Acceptance Notice).

PLEASE FILL OUT THIS FORM TO REQUEST A STATUS UPDATE ON YOUR FILM SUBMISSION IF IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN SIX (6) MONTH'S SINCE YOUR FILM'S SUBMISSION to NEWFILMMAKERS LOS ANGELES AND YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED A FINAL STATUS NOTIFICATION FROM US.


You will receive your status update within ten (10) business days. We unfortunately do not have the staff bandwidth to reply to status updates for more recently submitted films.
