SCREENING YOUR FILM

As 3rd party submission platforms do NOT provide video selection preview listing of all films, video playback features, we will upload your film to our web site in the "Watch&Vote" links, and as an alternative and a double feature opportunity for your films to be seen by a larger public audience, also will be on YouTube . (depending on your country access, permissions etc) to increase your chances to be seen and voted for. The listing and features on youTube are excellent. Many other platforms including COLORTAPE are unable to provide such a high technical IT programming skill to implement. Hence, we are inclined to use YouTube's advanced embedded features. Those who cannot access or do not want their films on youTube you MUST send us an email to colortape@gmail and request a removal of your film from the listing. REMEMBER: if you ask us to remove your film you will loose anywhere between 10-15 points from the rating generated by viewers on YouTube.
