By submitting a film for consideration to the The Good Coast, filmmakers agree that the content they submit is 100% their own, and does not break any copyright laws. Most people understand that the actual film footage has to be their own. But it goes much further than that. All graphics, images, and music etc must be original work, or the filmmaker is required to have permission from the content owner.
Any film contest submission that violates these rules will not be considered for the contest.
