Anyone can watch the films in the festival. But because the films with the most viewership go on to the competition, we're asking for viewers to register if they want their visits to count towards the films thye watch. That way, no one can skew the results by pretending to watch their own film a thousand times.
The Viewer Registration page also has the fields to sign up and add your name to the CrewFinder, a free networking service open to anyone looking for crew in their area. Adding your name and contact information there will help filmmakers find the right skills for their next project.
