I have a great idea for a film. Are you currently accepting submissions?
Most AMS films are developed internally. We will consider only serious inquiries of projects that have
funding or other resources substantially committed, and only if those projects fall within our areas of interest. You
must download, print, sign and submit a signed submission waiver before AMS will begin review of any
project.

fundraising event. The license fee is based on various factors such as ticket price, audience size, and whether the
event is open and advertised to the public.
- Organizations can provide a link to our e-store via their website, and receive 10% of all DVDs
sold via their website.

constituents at the $19.95 retail price or above, keeping all profits.
