The world of digital distribution is changing the way people see your films. CINELAN can help you expand your voice beyond the documentary enthusiast to more mainstream viewers, using our easily watchable, easily shareable, and easily marketable three-minute story format. Our growing library of premium content is syndicated worldwide through online publishers and offline outlets.

SUBMIT A FILM NOW

Submit a film. CINELAN is always seeking to expand its library of must-see, three-minute films. If you have a current film or have what it takes to make a compelling three-minute story (it’s not as easy as it sounds), submit your idea or completed film for consideration. If we accept your work we will distribute it vigorously and share any net revenues gained from distribution with you. Check out our distribution partner list to see where your films will go.

CINELAN does not pay in advance for submitted films. We work on a revenue share basis only unless we specifically reach out to filmmakers for original content creation.  Before submitting, please check out some of our films to see what three-minute filmmaking is all about. We’re sure you’ll be as enthusiastic as we are about these great short stories.  Please note, CINELAN films are all end-to-end complete stories.  We do not accept trailers or excerpts of any kind.
