Press Release Summary: Santa Fe Film Festival uses highest quality on line video
platform to help filmmakers submit their films and get their own personal streaming
video, distribution channel.

Press Release Body: Santa Fe, New Mexico – “According to the EPA the United States
produces 2 million tons of eWaste every year which is one reason we support and
encourage filmmakers to submit their films on line, rather then sending DVDS which
ends up as eWaste”, said Stephen Rubin of the Santa Fe Film Festival.
“Unfortunately, the initiative was delayed so we decided to extend the submission
deadline to September 26 for filmmakers who may have missed the deadline, as a way
of building momentum for on line submissions for next year, green filmmaking and
empowering filmmakers with the opportunity to acquire their own distribution
channel”, continued Rubin.

When asked how filmmakers can submit on line and get their own high
quality distribution platform, Rubin explained, “Filmmakers just need to
go to http://santafefilmfestival.com/Online_Submissions and watch a
short video presentation using the same technology they’ll use to
submit, or distribute their films and then enter their contact
information and we will call them back and step them through the
process. When asked about the broadcast technology, Rubin said; “The
technology is absolutely fantastic. First the quality is the best I have
ever seen! Second it is a stream, so there is no risk to filmmakers’
distribution rights and third it is a no buffering technology. This
means that filmmakers can submit a film of any length and once it starts
to play it will finish without any need to pause in the middle. The
technology is truly extraordinary”.

“We really believe that there are two major trends in independent filmmaking; 1)
green filmmaking and 2) empowering independent filmmakers with the ability to take
control over their films distribution. We believe that by adopting this technology
that the Santa Fe Film Festival is taking a leadership position in both areas”.

26 deadline, and getting control over their distribution channel can learn more by
