    The 6ix Screams International Horror Film Festival is an absolute gem for horror filmmakers and enthusiasts alike. I had the privilege of having my film, The Woman Who Wears Black, screened at this incredible festival, and the experience exceeded all expectations.

    From the very beginning, the communication with the organizers was seamless and professional. They made sure filmmakers felt welcomed and valued, creating an atmosphere of genuine support for the art of horror storytelling. The festival team clearly put their heart into curating a diverse lineup of films, showcasing both emerging talent and seasoned creators. Thank you, 6ix Screams, for an unforgettable experience!
