When you make an indie film, you put your blood, sweat, and tears into it. Not to mention, your bank account. No one understands this better than us. We're independent filmmakers just like you, and we're here to honor your passion, commitment, and vision.

So many people give up on their dreams, never daring to try to make them come true. You're one of the brave few to take a huge step and actually do that. No film is perfect but you had the guts to reach for the stars and we want to applaud your success. Production date, world premiere status, etc. None of that junk matters to us. We just want to see your pride and joy.

Every indie film has something good about it that should be rewarded. As filmmakers ourselves, we've gotten the rejections so many festivals love to hand out, which is why we're taking a different approach. Again, you're not going to get honors you don't deserve. We have to be honest, but we will focus on the positives. We know how much festival submissions cost, and we don't you to waste another dime on another worthless fest so congrats for finding us. We've had to change now to turn down more films unfortunately but every selected film will screen in Tokyo and we've made sure our submission fees are extremely low.

As you can probably tell from the name of our festival, we love sci-fi, horror, and action, but all films are encouraged to submit. We have a screenplay category too.

We used to cooperate with another international film festival but now we're on our own. Our festival started in Shanghai before relocating to Tokyo.
