Overview

Thumbnail images are a critical part of how student films are presented and discovered. They serve as the visual first impression in festival programs and on streaming platforms, and they are used to represent the show within FSUFILM Greenlight. A well-composed thumbnail can spark interest, convey tone, and signal production quality—helping a film stand out in competitive viewing environments. For this reason, each project must submit a thoughtfully selected, high-resolution thumbnail that accurately represents the film’s aesthetic and content.

Use these templates to create your thumbnails. To ensure your film is properly represented across a range of platforms, you must create both a horizontal and a vertical thumbnail.

Deliver the finished files for each in two formats:

• A layered PSD file (include any custom fonts used)
• A flattened JPG file (max file size: 2MB)
