Q. Can I come help or volunteer?
A. Sure! Just connect with us via twitter or on instagram. It’s easy to reach us.
Q. I want to send a DVD or BluRay instead of using the screener

What types of films are wanted for this festival?
We consider the designation ‘science fiction’ to be a somewhat narrow term to describe a much wider category of film. The term ‘fantastic film’ might be a better description because it encompasses fantasy, supernatural, horror, and all types of stories of the extraordinary. Anything that takes the viewer out of the everyday is suitable for the Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival.
Feel free to visit our past festival programme to get an idea of what we screen.
Q. Might I get a waiver code?
A. We only make accommodations for filmmakers in developing nations or economically challenged countries. If you reside in one of these countries, please contact us and include a link to your work.
Q. Can I send my screenplay via standard mail?
A. Due to volume no. We only can accept an electronic submission as a PDF, it reduces paper, risk, and helps keep Planet Terra green.
Q. Can you attend our con and screen some of your films?
A. We would be honored, Just connect with us via twitter or on instagram. It’s easy to reach us.

Q. I might like to submit my film to your festival if it is a good fit. What are you looking for in style and theme this year? Gore? Suspense? Comedy horror? Is your festival against nudity? (I have two versions of my film, one with a topless shot and one without.) As an award winning film maker, does it increase my chances? Does that mean anything? It's okay to say "No". 🙂
A. Thanks for looking at us. The easiest thing I can envision is to take a look at our history. Check out the history of horror/thriller films we select for the festival. I cannot think of a better way.
