EDIT by Jason: This was originally graciously made up by JDS for the fests, but it seems this information would be much more pertinent and useful in the User Films section, so... here it is... Though everyone would probably do well to consider these "suggestions" to be now leaning more towards guidelines for the User Films forum. Thanks.

First off, this is more Jack the 9 fest vet talking to you rather than Jack the Mod.
So unlike some stickies,these are not rules so much as suggestions.
Suggestions vs. rules because we're all for freedom of expression. BUT, we also want people to have a good time and to encourage filmmakers.
So while you're still free to say "Your movie sucks" © Jeremy Hyler :grin:
... we can probably do a bit better. Remember this is a filmmaking community. :beer:
This guide has not come about due to a widespread problem with giving and receiving criticism,
but more to enhance the experience for filmmakers and fest participants of varying experience levels
