Can I add the title of a spec spot which was accepted by film festivals?

I shot a spec spot (car commercial) and it has been accepted by festivals. We got a Honda from a local car dealer, but since the project is not a real commercial for Honda, can the title still be added? Should it be titled as: Brand: Title of advert if known (year) (V) ? Should I insert Honda as the brand? Or maybe something like Spec spot: Title of advert if known (year) (V) ?

Thank you so much!

Hi @ecabuti -

Thanks for reaching out.  I'm not familiar with the preferred title formatting for spec spots, as such I have reached out to our policy team to clarify.  In the meantime, can you provide a link to the festival site referencing your title or screening?

Cheers!

Hi @ecabuti -

To clarify the festival mention, is your title: "WHO AM I" Kiefer Tauchmann (Spain, 2022)?

If not, can you clarify where your title is referenced on the event page?

@Michelle​ hi, thanks for the response. That is correct, the title of the project is ‘Who am I’ directed by Kiefer Tauchmann, and I was the DP on the project. Shot in Spain in 2022.

Hi @ecabuti​ -

My apologies for the delayed reply.  This title is eligible and should include "spec spot" in the text formatting, for example:

Brand: Advert Title Spec Spot (year) (V)

I hope this helps!
