STEP 1: Brainstorm! Collaborate! Create! Get together with your friends and make a cinematic masterpiece. All you need is an idea and a camera. Your film can be any style or genre you want - drama, animation, film noir, western, epic adventure, experimental - the ball is in your court!

STEP 2: Edit and Finish! Once all the filming is done, do whatever preparing or editing you need to do before sending it in. You can send it in on either a DVD or as a high-quality QuickTime file (but don't send your master copy - it won't be returned!).

STEP 3: Submit, Submit, Submit! Once everything is ready to go, submit your masterpiece! You will need to include:

- The 2012 submission form filled out completely. It can be found here: 2012 MSFF Submission Form.

- The DVD or high-quality QuickTime copy of your film (Please double check to make sure it works properly)

- A $5.00 submission fee (in US funds only made out to "Mosaic Film Project") via PayPal or a money order (but please no personal checks.) If using a credit card please use the button below to pay via PayPal. Make sure to save/print a copy of the PayPal transaction for your records.
