The problem

Your film shouldn't start from scratch with every submission.

Stitching together various cloud storage folders, copying loglines repeatedly, and tracking dozens of independent entry deadlines eats up valuable creative time.

One Film Profile

Create your master film profile once. Film files, stills, trailers, press kits, and director information remain grouped on one secure, permanent record.

Submit Faster

No re-uploading high-res screeners or filling out custom forms from scratch. Click submit and CineLot safely maps your files and meta to the target festival.

Track Your Submissions

See exactly where your film stands at every festival. Real-time notifications alert you of reviews, shortlists, selections, and hybrid screenings.

From a filmmaker

Built to make the submission process easier.

“CineLot has saved our production team countless hours. We used to maintain a chaotic master spreadsheet of submission forms, high-res links, and custom passwords. Now we submit directly from our film profile with absolute peace of mind.”

Common questions

  • No. You build your film profile once. Every submission starts from that profile, so you don't re-enter your film information for each festival.
