Article submissions
We're on the hunt for a few good articles.
The deets
We're looking for relatively short articles, quick reads with something to say. While we're pretty open, the ideal article is probably about 5-7 paragraphs. It should be pretty easy to knock that out, but don't feel constrained if you have more to say than that.
Gave an interview once? Turn that into a short article. Written a book? Feel free to modify an exceprt from there.
Writing an article is a great way to promote yourself or your projects.
Content
Primarily, the articles should be relevant to filmmakers. Useful tips or a point-of-view on a particular topic are perfect. Share your experiences.
