What Qualifies a Film as Malone-Student-Made

A few criteria have grown up around the fest and been passed around in the oral tradition. Here are the standards which have a little bit of elasticity to them:

- A film made by all Malone students obviously counts,

- If some of the "major players" (writer, director, actors, producers, composers) are not students, then a film must include THREE Malone students in these roles in order to be eligible for awards.

- A film made by one Malone student in collaboration with only non-Malone students WILL still be eligible to screen at the festival as long as that student played a significant role in the production of the film.
