The Bottom Line
Most of the below is simply fancy way of saying that if you’re looking for a distribution venue that will offer your short film the maximum possible exposure, AtomFilms just may be the place to turn. They pay both an up-front acquisition fee and continuing royalties. And more notably perhaps, once you’ve sold to Atom, they’ll offer you an avenue to seek financing for subsequent films.
Before you get too far ahead of yourself, here are the basics what you’ll need to know to submit to AtomFilms:
First off, Atom accepts both animated and live action submissions in all genres so long as the films include neither pornographic nor infringing content. Second, they prefer their shorts under five minutes but will consider films as long as 15 minutes. Third, you’ll be able to mail submissions to their San Francisco offices or submit via email. Fourth and finally, proper clearances will be required for the actors and elements in your film, so be sure to have all of your paperwork ducks in a row.
