NOTE: We will be cross checking the cast and crew names with the release forms submitted.  You must have a release form for everyone.

Each team will be given two complimentary tickets to the Premiere and Awards on October 25th.  Look for a separate email from us to you concerning this.  The venue will be the UC Clermont College Krueger Auditorium.

To purchase tickets to the October 25th event, click here.  We will determine the start times for the film blocks once all films have been submitted(September 27th).  We believe the start time will be 1pm with the awards presentation following the last film.

We will continue to make announcements about the event on our Facebook and Instagram pages. 

We'd love to see the fun you had on location and in pre and post production. Post images on our Facebook page and/or send a download link to us in an email to info@frightfilmcompetition.com. We'd love to show them at the premiere during intermissions.

Thanks to all of you, this is our seventh year!  We applaud you and all the hard work you and your team do by creating your original short horror film. 

You're keeping filmmaking alive by scaring us to death.
