Call For Entries - Seventh Annual Media That Matters Film Festival

If a film is made and no one sees it, does it make an impact? Submit 
your film to Media That Matters and be heard.

If you want to make an impact, this is the festival for you-Media 
That Matters will bring your social-issue short to audiences around 
the world! Sixteen winners get an international distribution 
deal-DVD, broadcast, web streaming and hundreds of community 
screenings. Plus many films get cash awards. Media That Matters 
launches in NYC with a premiere and awards ceremony (previous 
presenters have included Tim Robbins, Chuck D and David Cross). The 
shorts are distributed to educators with a Teacher's Guide and 
integrated into activist campaigns all year long.
