The director is the creative leader of a film production. Their primary role is to bring the script to life, translating the written words into visual and auditory storytelling. Directors guide the actors' performances, making sure they deliver the desired emotions and portray the characters effectively.

The cinematographer is responsible for the visual aspect of the film. They work closely with the director to capture the desired mood, tone, and composition through the camera. Cinematographers choose the appropriate camera angles, lighting setups, lenses, and camera movements to enhance the story's emotional impact and atmosphere.

The editor plays a critical role in the post-production process. They take all the footage shot during production and shape it into a cohesive and engaging story. Editors select the best takes, arrange the scenes in the desired order, and cut out unnecessary elements to maintain the film's pacing and narrative flow.

The sound designer is responsible for the film's auditory experience. They design and create all the sound elements, including dialogue, music, and sound effects. Sound designers carefully balance and mix these elements to enhance the storytelling, immerse the audience in the world of the film, and evoke specific emotions.

The screenwriter is the initial architect of the film's story. They write the script, crafting the dialogue, characters, and narrative structure. Screenwriters work closely with the director and sometimes the producers to develop and refine the script, ensuring it effectively communicates the intended theme and vision.

General submissions will be evaluated with a more holistic judging criteria, taking into account all of the film roles at once, instead of specializing on one role.
