RTV may make no selection in any review cycle. Funding is not guaranteed. Selected projects must sign a separate production and distribution agreement before any funds are released. Applying does not transfer copyright or enter your project in the RTV Film Festival.

I confirm that I am authorized to submit this project and its materials, that production has not started, and that RTV may store and review these materials and contact me about this application. I have read the Originals terms and privacy information. I understand there is no guaranteed selection, payment or reply date.
