Welcome to the 168! Everything form you need to have or turn in is explained below. Please feel free to call our office if you have any questions. 818.557.8507 NOTE: Click on the form to download it 1) 2010 Entry Form and Agreement – Most of you should already have this filled out and turned in. If you haven’t, you will not get your verse unless this form is signed and turned in. (MANDATORY DOCUMEENT THAT NEEDS TO BE TURNED IN) 2) Crew-Actor Documentary Release – This form gives us permission to use your cast’s or crew’s images (from both in front and behind the camera) in any projects we make later for the 168 (like a documentary). In the past we had 3 forms to do this but we’ve now boiled them all into one MEGA form. If you don’t turn in this form, you’re film will not screen. (MANDATORY DOCUMEENT THAT NEEDS TO BE TURNED IN) 3) What’s New for 2010 – This form just gives you a quick rundown on the major changes we’ve made for the 168 this year. 4) 168 Turn In Specs for Macs version 2.0 – If you are using Final Cut to edit your film, this form explains what formats we accept.

Please look it over. 9) The Ten Minute Bible Study – This document outlines a technique for studying the bible verse you’ll be getting in the next week or so.

It’s common sense but we need you to read it, sign it and fax it to us if you don’t live in the LA area. (MANDATORY DOCUMEENT THAT NEEDS TO BE TURNED IN) 11) Preliminary Information Sheet – If you planning on doing a SAG film, this is the form you first submit to SAG.

They’ll do their best work with your tight time tables. 12) SAG Statement of Compliance – If you are doing a SAG film, you need to sign this document and turn it into us if you want your SAG film to be on the Best of DVD. We are not guaranteeing you’ll be on the DVD, but I do guarantee you won’t be on it if you don’t sign this form. 13) Producers Casting Request Form 2010 - (ONLY FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TEAMS) you need to fill this out and get it to us right away.
