The following guidelines are aimed at both amateur & professional filmmakers who are looking to contribute to UPLIFT.

Film Submission Guidelines

If you are interested in submitting a video for UPLIFT, please take a look at the videos UPLIFT publishes and reflect upon how your voice could work best in this format.

Here are a few more tips on submitting films to UPLIFT:-

  • Submissions are open between short two-minute pieces to full-length feature films. UPLIFT concentrates on stories that are heart-centred but have an impact and an intention to make a positive difference. We are looking to curate inspiring stories about projects, communities and people who are inspirational examples of love-in-action.
  • We intend to publish high-quality content that can also be easily shared in today's world of social media connectivity.
  • It is important that the film has a clear value for the viewer, something that enriches their life. We enjoy innovative, well-researched films that should not be self-promotional or exclusive to a particular group but should aim to appeal to a wider audience.

 

Submission Terms

  • UPLIFT accepts film submissions (for review) by supplying a preview link (YouTube or Vimeo) via email to hello@uplift.love with the subject "Film Submission".
  • By submitting your work to UPLIFT you agree:-
