A "Major" Announcement
Just when you thought 2020 couldn't get any scarier, comes a frightful announcement. Frightfilm Competition will return in August 2021 for its third year!
If you've been apart of the first two years, we look forward to your returning to scare the pants off us. If you've always wanted to produce your own short horror film, start planning. August 2021 will be here sooner than you think and it's never too soon to begin working on your script (with our Frightwright Competition) and organizing your crew.
Remember we'll give you three criteria to include in your film so you can't start production until after the Kick-Off event in early August.
Stay tuned to this page for additional announcements.

A short film competition that's all about scaring your audience
Whether you're a working professional or a young beginner, make a short (13 minutes or less) horror film and scare the pants off your competition.
You'll have enough time. This isn't a weekend production. Filmmaking begins August 2021 and ends October 2021.
You'll have 2 months to write, produce and edit your scary film. That's time enough to create an award winning film (read video) that could start you on the way to becoming the next Tobe Hooper or Wes Craven.

The goal of this competition is to make just one type of film, SCARY!
All submitted films must fit in that genre. Mixed genres (Horror/scary, Horror/comedy, Scary SCI-FI, etc) will be accepted. Films that do not fit in the scary genre will be disqualified from all awards, but will be shown at the screening event.
