Deadline: July 31st, 2023
Payment: $25 CAD
Theme: choose a mood (e.g. melancholy, frustrated, calm) and a film, TV show, or even a director/actor (as long as the connection to your chosen mood is clear) to write about in any format/genre

What are your viewing habits, highs, and hang-ups? In other words, why do you look away and then look again? Why are you so obsessed with the exact shade of pink of Suki’s car in 2 Fast 2 Furious? Or the look on Marnie’s face after she’s fired the shotgun? We want to hear all about it, but you should know that we are terrible at keeping secrets.

So… are you in the mood?

Submissions are OPEN for In The Mood Magazine Issue 8: MOODS! We’re doing things a little differently this time, so please read the call carefully…

Inspired by our Film Recommendation Generator, we’re asking our contributors to choose a mood (e.g. melancholy, frustrated, calm) and a film, TV show, or even a director/actor (as long as the connection to your chosen mood is clear) to write about in any format/genre they wish.

The film/show can match the mood or be an antidote. We welcome creative non-fiction, poetry, fan fiction… surprise us! Explore our Film Recommendation Generator for inspiration 😉

– Submission deadline: July 31st, 2023
– Theme: Moods—please indicate the mood you’re pitching
