Get one and put your film's title on the back!  Everyone will be jealous.

Producers please remember that all cast, crew, location owners and music performers & composers must fill out a release form. Have them visit the Release Form webpage link below. There they can select their type of release.  

Here is the link to the Release Form webpage

Everything, EVERYTHING, needs to be submitted by midnight(Eastern time zone) September 26th. Remember that this means you can submit it early too.

We'd love to see the fun you have on location and in pre and post production. Take lots of images and videos and post them as a comment on our Facebook page. We'd also love to show them at the premiere during intermissions. So upload them to a folder in your online storage and send a download link for the folder to us in an email to info@frightfilmcompetition.com. 

Thanks to all of you, this is our eighth year! We couldn't have done it without you. We applaud you and all the hard work you and your team have to create your original short horror film. The film-making craft is alive and well in Frightfilm.
