SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND TERMS
Last updated: 31 October 2026
These Submission Guidelines and Terms apply to unsolicited creative project enquiries and any subsequent invited submissions to Cassette Vision Limited. Please read them before contacting us about a project.
1. Getting in Touch
Cassette Vision Limited is an independent Irish development and production company developing original feature films, documentaries and television series.
We welcome introductions from writers, directors, producers and other creatives interested in exploring potential collaborations with us. However, we do not operate an open submissions policy. We use an initial project enquiry process to learn about the person behind a project and determine whether there may be a basis for further discussion.
All unsolicited creative project enquiries must be sent exclusively to collab@cassette.ie. Please follow the instructions on our Project Enquiries page.
Your initial email should include a brief introduction, relevant professional background, examples of your previous work and, optionally, a short logline or synopsis in the body of the email.
You may include links to completed professional work, such as finished films, published writing, showreels or professional portfolios, to demonstrate your experience. However, you must not attach or link to scripts, pitch decks, treatments, series bibles, project presentations, visual references or other materials relating to the project you are introducing.
Please write your introductory email in your own words. We value genuine introductions and do not accept AI-generated or AI-assisted introductory emails.
Your email must include an explicit written statement confirming that you have read and agree to these terms. Project information shared without this confirmation will be deleted without review.
An initial enquiry does not constitute an invitation to submit further materials. If we are interested in learning more, we may contact you and invite you to share additional information. Any invitation is at our discretion and does not guarantee that we will review, develop or pursue the project.
For co-production, industry, business and general enquiries, please use our Contact page or contact info@cassette.ie. These terms do not apply to ordinary business correspondence that does not introduce unsolicited creative project material.
2. Ownership and Permission to Review
You retain ownership of your work and any intellectual property rights you hold in it. Cassette Vision does not claim ownership of material simply because you introduce a project or submit materials following an invitation.
By sending an initial project enquiry and explicitly confirming your agreement to these terms, you grant Cassette Vision permission to receive, store and review the information included in that enquiry, solely for the purpose of evaluating the introduction and considering potential collaboration.
If we subsequently invite you to submit further materials, you grant Cassette Vision permission to receive, store and review those materials for the same purpose.
Neither an initial enquiry nor an invited submission grants Cassette Vision any licence or other right to develop, produce, adapt, distribute, commercialise or otherwise exploit your work.
Any future use of your material would require an appropriate separate agreement or other valid legal basis.
You should only introduce or submit material that you have the right and authority to share with us, including any necessary permissions from co-authors, co-creators or other relevant rights holders.
3. Non-Confidentiality
Unless expressly agreed otherwise in a separate written agreement signed by an authorised representative of Cassette Vision, initial project enquiries and invited submissions are considered non-confidential and are not received on the basis of any obligation of confidence.
Please do not share information that you are unwilling to disclose on this basis.
This provision sets out the basis on which Cassette Vision receives project enquiries and submissions. It does not exclude any legal obligations that cannot lawfully be excluded.
4. Independent Development and Similar Material
Cassette Vision develops original projects and receives information about creative projects from a variety of sources. We may already be developing, or may independently develop in the future, projects that are similar to or overlap with information contained in an enquiry or submission. We may also receive similar or identical material from other writers, creators, representatives or third parties.
Similarity or overlap alone does not establish that material has been copied from an enquiry or submission, transfer ownership of your work to Cassette Vision, or create any obligation on the part of Cassette Vision to you.
Nothing in these terms authorises Cassette Vision to infringe valid intellectual property rights. These terms do not transfer ownership of your work or grant us permission to exploit copyright-protected material without the necessary rights or permission.
5. No Obligation to Review or Proceed
An introduction or submission does not oblige Cassette Vision to:
Review or respond to an enquiry or submission.
Provide feedback, notes, compensation or other payment.
Enter into discussions or negotiations.
Develop, produce, finance, represent, option, acquire, distribute or otherwise pursue a project.
Enter into any agreement or business relationship with the person introducing or submitting the material.
We cannot guarantee that every enquiry or invited submission will be reviewed, or that we will respond within a particular timeframe. We are unable to provide individual feedback on every enquiry.
If we wish to discuss a project further, we will contact you.
6. No Transfer of Rights Through Submission
No option, licence, assignment, representation arrangement, partnership or other rights agreement is created simply by sending an email, introducing a project, sharing materials, receiving an invitation to submit or receiving a response from Cassette Vision.
Any proposed collaboration, acquisition, option, licence or other commercial arrangement will be subject to separate terms agreed between the relevant parties.
7. Unsolicited Materials and Incorrectly Directed Enquiries
We operate a controlled project enquiry process. To ensure that enquiries are handled consistently, all unsolicited creative project enquiries must be sent to collab@cassette.ie and must follow the instructions on our Project Enquiries page.
The following rules apply:
Enquiries without explicit written acceptance: Any project information shared without a written statement confirming agreement to these terms will be deleted without review.
Unsolicited project materials: Scripts, pitch decks, treatments, series bibles, project presentations, visual references, project links and other materials presenting or developing an unsolicited project will be deleted without being read, regardless of whether the sender has agreed to these terms.
Enquiries sent to other addresses: Unsolicited creative project pitches sent to any Cassette Vision email address other than collab@cassette.ie, including those sent directly to individual team members, will not be considered and may be deleted without review. Please do not approach individual team members with unsolicited project ideas or materials.
These restrictions do not prevent you from contacting Cassette Vision about co-production, existing projects, industry relationships, professional services or other legitimate business matters through our general contact channels.
Receipt of unsolicited material does not mean that Cassette Vision has accepted it for consideration or agreed to any confidentiality, development or other obligation in relation to it, subject to applicable law and any obligations that cannot lawfully be excluded.
8. Acceptance and Records
To have an initial project enquiry considered, you must include an explicit written statement in your email confirming that you have read and agree to these Submission Guidelines and Terms.
The required statement is:
"I confirm that I have read and agree to Cassette Vision Limited's Submission Guidelines and Terms. I understand that this is an unsolicited project enquiry and that I have not been invited to submit further project materials."
If we invite you to submit additional materials, we may ask you to confirm your agreement to the applicable terms again before receiving them.
We may retain a record of the enquiry, your acceptance, the applicable version of these terms, the date of receipt and any materials subsequently submitted. These records may be retained for legitimate business, administrative and legal purposes, subject to applicable data protection law.
9. Personal Information
When you contact us or submit materials following an invitation, we may process personal information such as your name, email address, professional details, portfolio links and correspondence to respond to your enquiry and manage potential professional relationships.
Personal information will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection law and our Privacy Policy.
You may exercise your applicable data protection rights, including requesting access to, correction of or deletion of your personal information, subject to the conditions and exceptions provided by law.
Please refer to our Privacy Policy for further information about the purposes and lawful basis of processing, data retention, recipients and your rights.
10. Changes to These Terms
Cassette Vision may update these terms from time to time. The version published on this page will apply prospectively to new enquiries and submissions, subject to applicable law and any separate written agreement already in place.
Where we have invited a submission subject to a particular version of these terms, we will retain a record of the applicable version and the circumstances of that submission. Updates to this page do not automatically change the terms applicable to an earlier submission.
11. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, subject to any mandatory legal provisions that apply.
