Drop-off Event

May 19 - Drop-off Event
Gordon Biersch
Westfield Mission Valley
5010 Mission Center Rd
San Diego, CA 92108

The Drop-off Event marks the end of the competition weekend. For your film to be considered on time it must arrive by 7:30PM.

Every year several films that would otherwise been turned in on time
miss the 7:30PM deadline due to exporting problems.

We highly recommend that you allow plenty of time for the export of your film so that you don't miss the deadline. Please see the San Diego Submission Requirements page for important information about exporting and submitting your film.

Films that are dropped off late will still be screened and are eligible for Audience Choice awards.

• Film Drop-off will be at Gordon Biersch in Mission Valley.
