Frightfilm 2019

(October 27, 2019, Cincinnati, Ohio)-Headline: Winners Announced at the Frightfilm 2019 Competition Premiere and Awards.

The winners of the inaugural Frightfilm Competition have been announced at a ceremony hosted by Michael Flannery at the historic Woodward Theater, Cincinnati, Ohio on Sunday October 27, 2019.  The awards ceremony held immediately following the premiere of all twelve films was attended by a sold out audience.  


In addition to awards in various outstanding film categories, best costume awards were presented to individuals attending the event.  “We couldn’t be more pleased by the judges selections. They had a very difficult job.” Said Frightfilm co-founder Bill Anderson.  He went on to say, “I’m kinda glad it was them and not me”.  


Nineteen industry professionals served as judges in twelve different categories.  “In addition to presenting the Skelly award to the filmmakers in traditional categories, our audience got to serve as judges as well”.  Jim Timmerman, co-founder went on to say, “It was great fun to have our audience also select their favorite films”. 


One of the things that makes Frightfilm unique is that filmmakers are required to incorporate three predetermined items in their films.  Each film needed to incorporate rope as a hand prop, create a scene with a point-of-view shot and a line of dialogue from a classic horror film.


The Skelly statuette is the award presented by Frightfilm for outstanding achievement in horror short film-making.  Jeff Winkelman, co-founder summed up the event saying, “Everyone tonight should feel great about their Frightfilm picture.  They created a thirteen minute horror film in less than two months. That takes a lot of dedication, attention to detail and creativity.  Our filmmakers are true professionals.”
