Horror Calling

The Shriekfest Film Festival, an international horror/sci-fi film and screenplay competition, is calling on all those with a camera and a creative spirit to contribute fan-made commercials for a sub-contest to help promote the event.

The festival, now in its Sexy and Seventeenth year, seeks commercial submissions that will be used on its website and social media pages to help get people excited about the festival. The winning commercial will be screened at the festival! The only requirements are for the commercial to be under one minute, be horror/sci-fi/fantasy related, and mention that Shriekfest is in its Seventeenth year.

Entrants must submit their commercial to shriekfest@aol.com (mailto:shriekfest@aol.com) by September 1st to be considered.

Shriekfest was created in July 2001 by Denise Gossett and has grown into the longest-running and one of the largest horror and sci-fi film festivals in the country. Since its inception, Shriekfest has offered young and upcoming writers, actors, and producers a chance to have their work screened and rated by peers. The final deadline for entries is July 10.  "We have been doing this commercial contest for many  years now and every year we get such amazing, creative, and unique submissions!" says Festival Director Denise Gossett.
