Fans Of Film: The World's Largest Community of Independent Filmmakers

Since 2000, Withoutabox has been finding new ways to connect film artists with their audiences, working directly with over 800 film festivals on six continents and representing over 225,000 members in 200 countries-from first-time directors to Academy Award® winners.

The company's signature innovation, the International Film Submission System, links rights-holders with film festivals, networks, and competitions worldwide.

Filmmakers and Film Festivals Discovering Each Other, the World Over.

In January of 2009 alone, almost half of the 5,400 filmmakers joining the Withoutabox community came from outside of the United States.

Filmmakers love Withoutabox because it eliminates the hassles of submitting to multiple festivals. Filmmakers simply fill out one paperless entry form, search for festivals that are right for them and click to submit, all in a few easy steps.

The system integrates simply and seamlessly into a festival website with no interruption and dramatically streamlines the process of outreach, submission management, and notification. Withoutabox also offers an unparalleled suite of tools and marketing options that help to manage and promote your request for submissions.

Filmmakers Benefit on IMDb.com by Submitting to your Film Festival.

In 2008, Withoutabox was acquired by IMDb.com, an Amazon.com company.

Through this exclusive relationship with the world's most visited internet movie site, filmmakers submitting to partner film festivals automatically generate a no-hassle film title page on IMDb.com, which means that filmmakers already receive a staggering promotional benefit, just for submitting to your festival.

And this is just a first step in an upcoming suite of innovations that will harness the global reach and influence of IMDb's 57 million monthly film-loving visitors, and put to work for you the limitless potential of its authoritative database.

And, with Amazon's rapidly expanding distribution platforms like Amazon Video On Demand and CreateSpace, film festivals will be able to extend their curatorial influence and help film artists find their audiences like never before.

It's all just beginning. And we want you to be a part of it.
