Director of the project must have an experience in directing at least one short or one feature film before and a producer of the project must have an experience in producing at least one feature film before.

No, we do not accept projects without a director.
A producer who has produced more than 1 feature film must be attached.
You may send 1 to 3 recent major films of the director. These should be films or documentaries that have been theatrically released or screened at film festivals.

No, unfortunately, due to the number of submissions we receive, we are unable to correspond with each application. Officially, we do not disclose or publish any comments or opinions on each candidate project.
No, we don’t accept a script. It is difficult for the selection committee to review the whole script in a limited time. We would like to recommend handing in a treatment which is 5 to 10 page-long.
APM selection committee would like to have an overall picture on how wisely you will use your budget to bring your project into reality. Even if the plan is vague and not yet precise, we would like to see that you have your own plan in terms of budget for the entire process (development, pre-production, production, post-production).
You can only re-apply projects previously submitted to the APM that were not selected if there is a significant change to the project. The change must be clearly identified in ‘A note Providing Explanation of the Changes’ section of the application form.
