After the 48 @ 48 Hour Film CineKid Project

What should I do with my film?

Many filmmakers wonder what to do with their films after the CINEKID. Our suggestion is do what you would do with any film — get it out there! Enter it into festivals, play it in public screenings, upload it to websites, get it on television, and show it to anyone you can. In the meantime, we'll highlight the top films on our website.

Because the 48HFP is constantly working on distribution outlets for the films, especially in the first year, our Team Leader's Agreement does restrict what you can do and when you can do it.

Confused about how this all works? Check out the information below. Please note that this is simply a description of the rights, based on the 2023 Team Leader's Agreement. For questions or further clarification, please refer to the Agreement.

Note: If you utilized SAG-AFTRA cast or crew members, there are additional restrictions and you may have to get permission from SAG-AFTRA for some uses of your film.

Contacting SAG-AFTRA

In order to request permission from SAG-AFTRA for various uses of your film, please contact SAG-AFTRA directly.

Can I sell my CINEKID film? Absolutely!

The policy for the sale of your 48HFP film depends on when it is being sold and whether the purchaser is seeking exclusive rights.

If the purchaser does not require exclusive rights to the film and if the film is sold after June 30 of the year following the creation of the film, when 48HFP and filmmaker share rights, you do not need the 48HFP's permission tosell your film.
If the purchaser seeks exclusive rights to the film, the 48HFP shall grant release of its rights to the film for 20%of the purchase price (80% to the team leader/20% to 48HFP).
If the purchaser does not require exclusive rights to the film and if the film is sold before June 30 of the year following the creation of the film (when 48HFP controls the bulk of the rights) 48HFP shall grant release of its rightsto the film for 20% of the purchase price (80% to the team leader/20% to 48HFP).

NOTE: The 48HFP does not have any ownership interest in your film/story concept. In addition, if you substantivelychange your film from your submitted version, the 48HFP does not have an interest in the new version.
