text: At the end of any financial year, accounts will be prepared and if there are any surpluses they will be split into four equal pots of 25% and shared as follows:
  2. Filmmakers whose films are showing on the online platform will receive a share of the second 25% (filmmakers with films in live screenings and online will get two shares)
  3. The third 25% will be awarded to LGBTQI+ filmmakers - the number of awards will depend on the level of profit which is unknown at present
  4. The final 25% will be used to develop QueerBee as an organisation. This would enable us to, for example, close caption all the films, translate the films into other languages (particularly where it is illegal to be gay) or to employ LGBTQI people
  The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) exists in order to protect children from unsuitable content and to give viewers the information they might need before deciding whether or not to view. The age ratings help cinemas and other groups and individuals recognise QueerBee content as informative and entertaining, suitable for the general public as well as of special interest to LGBTIQ community.
  We do not show films that have the sole purpose of stimulating sexual excitement but we welcome work that has incidental nudity or where there is sexual activity portrayed that is important to the story.
  We offer a non-exclusive arrangement. That means that you retain the rights to screen, sell or otherwise share your film at the same time as showing with us. If you are in any doubt, come back to us when you are sure. When you submit a film through Film Freeway you can see that the terms and conditions include that you assign us the right to show your film and that cannot be withdrawn. When a film is selected we write to the filmmakers to get further and more explicit consent.
  There are mastering and certification, administration and legal costs at QueerBee which is why both sides have to be committed early for it to work. If you are in any doubt, come back to us later when you are sure.
  We did a lot of research before setting the submission fee and as a filmmaker's collaborative we are sensitive to the costs of submissions. We think we have pitched it right to avoid numerous unsuitable submissions and to attract only genuine filmmakers. QueerBee costs time and money to administer and we feel that a $10 fee is reasonable.
  QueerBee costs time and money to administer and a $10 fee (our early bird rate) is a contribution to the actual cost which is much higher.
  We have reproduced the traditional format of film festivals which is curated programmes of films backed up with notes and discussion for those seeking further inspiration or validation on the subjects shown.
  Being a Community Interest Company means that we are a business with a social mission. We are not driven by profit for its own sake, but to make change in the world by re-investing funds in the LGBTIQ community. Find out more about social enterprise principles here. As a filmmaker, if your film is selected, that means that you get a share of any profits generated by QueerBee and that is set out in our constitution here QueerBee CIC Constitution. If you are a viewer, it means that a percentage of your money directly rewards filmmakers for their work and supports new work to be made. We reinvest funds into the LGBTIQ community.

  Quotacy is not a lead generating site or company, nor do we buy leads from lead generating services. Before we get into what that means, I want to explain what lead generation is. Lead generation is the use of a source, such as a computer program, database, the Internet, or service, to obtain or receive information for the purpose of expanding a business and increasing revenue.
  Back in the day, life insurance agents would build their clientele by going door-to-door selling life insurance policies. This method has died off since much of America pretends they aren’t home when their doorbell rings (unless it’s the pizza guy.)
  Nowadays it is common for life insurance agents to buy leads from services. Basically these “leads” are a big list of names and phone numbers of individuals in the right age group for life insurance. Agents then begin to reach out to everyone on their lists in an effort to sell life insurance. There is a need for life insurance and many families either are underinsured or don’t have any coverage at all; however, many people are turned off by getting cold calls.
