Britshorts Submission

Here's the submission page for your short film (they want a VHS screener initially):

Now if I can just get around to dumping Ad Astra to VHS ...

...license agreement that requires exclusive distribution rights over the licensing period...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">How will that tie in with Ad Astra being available for download on archive.org?

miker, I forget. What did you shoot Ad Astra on?

miniDV, but the master is MPEG2/DVD

The submission form asks what gauge/format and lists all the usual film types but also beta and 'other'. So these distributors would at least appear magnetic-friendly.

At archive.org I can alter the Creative Commons license or remove it entirely. However, on the submission form it does ask where else the movie has been shown, on-line or otherwise. The fact Ad Astra has a couple of favourable reviews may be in its favour.

But, frankly, I'm too lazy to find a blank VHS cassette.
