We want to remind the groups that we do not want to see explicit gory violence or extreme language in these films. If we see a film that portrays graphic violence or inappropriate content it may be disqualified from judging and/or viewing. If swears/cursing are present they will be muted/bleeped out. Stick to TV appropriate language and it will save us from having to edit out inappropriate language.
