ASIAN ON A MISSION PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS

THE 4TH ANNUAL 6IX SCREAMS INTERNATIONAL HORROR FILM FESTIVAL

We accept horror shorts up to 30 minutes long.

You scream! I scream! The 6ix screams!

Toronto wants to get scared - and not the kind of fear the Leafs feel when they find out they're playing Boston in the playoffs. Our audience is looking forward to forgetting a bit of reality by watching your horror short films on October 25, 2021!

Scare us! Show us what you got! Show us THE HORROR!

DONT STOP TIL THE 6IX SCREAMS!!!
