"adult" content

Lately the MPAA has been pretty harsh on Male full-frontal. Is the DVX ratings board going to be like the MPAA and give 5th Element a PG-13 (swearing, violence, sex with a minor, nudity with a minor) and Amelie an R (Nudity with an Adult)?

Just kidding. Some guidelines would be nice. We edited ours down a bit to stay away from the nudey bits, and I think the piece is better for it, but it would be nice to know where our boundaries lay, if there are any at all.
 
I thought the R-rated thing was pretty clear, but essentially it means cursing and nudity are completely acceptable. I'm a lot more concerned with copyright violations, running time, and format. Jarred and I aren't looking to play censor. If you have anythiing like explicit sex--and I can't even fathom that in a 6 minute SciFi film--that is not acceptable. Your characters are free to dance around in their birthday suits and curse like sailors, but don't expect to get too many votes. :)

~Barry, you've just given me the plot for my second Sci-Fest entry. Thank you.
 
My CGI aliens are nude. It shows one of the alien's CGI butt. However, they don't have visible genitalia. Is that ok?

Absolutly not! You must add genetalia immediatly -- and rememeber he or she or he/she is an Alien - so be creative, things like multiple freely moving parts in a variety of colors are expected.

It's not required but having them curse like sailors is recommended as well.
 
I have it on good faith that one entrant (not me) has a Scifi short that features a dozen dwarves graphically and violently having their way with a gaggle of geese...in the future. Is that acceptable?
 
speaking of dwarf related things, i heard midget tossing is banned from some states. aint that a cryin shame.
 
lol yea you are correct, I believe midgets aren't proportional(normal sized torso short legs/arms) as where dwarves are small proportional people. but anyways, dwarves midgets blah blah
 
A nake dwarf from the future with alien genitalia, flying around ala the rabbit on holy grail, eating peoples faces off, If some one doesn't make this movie, something has gone horribly wrong with the world.
