Free Account, Free Submissions

Spotrights is a new film portal for independent filmmakers, dedicated to helping filmmakers communicate industry professionals, manage portfolio, and promote your works.

With the basic admin tools, you can store film information in your personalized account, and from there, submit films to film festivals in a matter of a few clicks.

You can even make films available for on-line streaming. You don't need to send a preview copy to festivals anymore.

It's a fast and efficient way to organize your works, and will make you free from bothersome paperwork.

Find More Asian Films

For film festivals, it provides an ad space to publicize your entry call.

With our festival account, the details of your entry call will be listed on the Spotrights website to be viewed by filmmakers from around the world, especially Japan and other Asian countries.

You may have thousands of entries every year, and it requires a huge physical space to stock all the discs and tapes. Space is a big issue for all large festivals.

Why don't you register to Spotrights and watch films on-line. You'll need less storage space, and it will make your pre-screening a lot easier.
