Calling NH Filmmakers: Submissions Are Open For Manchester International Film Festival

Filmmakers now are invited to submit their work for consideration at the 2023 Manchester International Film Festival.

Last year, the Inaugural Manchester International Film Festival started off strong, showcasing big names such as John Lithgow as well as local talent, such as the red-carpet New England Premiere of Finding Sandler.

This year, the film festival will take place on August 10, 11, and 12. As organizers prepare for this year’s feature events and headlining movies, submissions are open for a variety of categories. New Hampshire filmmakers and scriptwriters can submit their work for free with the code MHTINFO2023.

One notable submission category is for Television / Streaming Pilot Script (New Hampshire). Scriptwriters are invited to submit a script that could be shot in New Hampshire or has New Hampshire ties. During the festival, the winning script will be read on stage by local actors and in front of area Locations Managers and Producers.
