Actually film resolution is an easy process you can increase the resolution on your editing software, if you dint know how to do that you could contact us and we’ll help you out.
Hi i would just like to say that on behalf of the Kuwait Young Film Festival that everyone is welcome to participate and volunteer. Grab your camera and get your work exposed. It is good fun and there are plenty of workshops to support you. You can participate with a good idea even!
The age limit is 30 therefore if your younger it is not a problem.
For you that are worried about the R&R, need not to worry; just present your work and who knows this may be your chance to shine.
There are 5 categories to choose from; or you can participate in them all. 🙂
