Dear Sir / Madam,
I am writing to ask for information about entering a film in your festival. I am sixteen years old and I am a student at No. 1 Senior Secondary School. I started making music videos three years ago, and I am very fond of it. Last year, I made my first short film.
I would like to ask about the films for your festival. Do you accept sport documentaries I am currently working on a sport documentary with a school friend. For the past few months, we have been interviewing and filming young players about their interest in basketball. Could you tell me if this kind of film would be acceptable
I wonder if you could also give me more information about how to apply to be part of this festival. Can groups as well as individuals enter Can we enter our film into another film festival at the same time In addition, would it be possible to tell me about the prizes Are there prizes for different age groups and for different types of films
