GUIDELINES
What we’re looking for above all is stories! Relevant, unique, moving, fun stories that get people thinking and talking with each other.
We’re looking for insightful, daring, caring documentaries with a universal message.
The films have to tell a story that is not otherwise being seen, or hardly being seen since we believe the power of documentary film is to reveal and enlighten.
- Non-fiction ONLY.
- Preferably short films.
- We require films to have ALL necessary rights secured for us to feature them.
- Please provide us with English subtitles if necessary.
- Fee: €15/$19.

“My short documentary was translated into 5 languages by 99.media, which helped it gain a lot more exposure and massively increased its global reach.
Further to this, 99.media became the film’s official distributor. They have successfully negotiated several deals on my behalf and brought in some very useful revenue.
I have a lot of respect for, and trust in the team, who has always dealt with me in a professional and honest fashion and who I believe has a real passion for short film and a lot of respect for filmmakers.”
Lukas Shrank, filmmaker, “I made an English-language documentary which addressed a global issue. The film gained a lot of exposure on the internet after a successful festival run, but somewhere along the line I realised that there was a large part of the audience that was missing”.
99.media translated the film into 5 additional languages, ultimately helping the film reach a much wider audience, and become globally relevant. Films are made to be seen, and reaching an international audience like this is invaluable”.
