SRS CINEMA & SCARE-A-CON CHALLENGE YOU TO MAKE A ZOMBIE THEMED SHORT FOR THE “EMPIRE STATE OF DEAD” CONTEST
“Imagine New York State in the midst of a Zombie apocalypse… now tell your story of survival!”
SRS Cinema, in partnership with The Scare-A-Con Horror, Sci-Fi & Fan Convention, is looking for short motion pictures 8-10 mins long that are set and shot in New York State for the “Empire State of Dead” short subject contest. Not only will there be prize money for the top 10 finalists, but those winning shorts will also be grouped together into a feature length anthology called, you guessed it, “Empire State of Dead”, which will receive a world-wide release on DVD and other formats.
And it gets better… the filmmaker with the top short, as picked by the judges, will also get the chance at a development deal for a feature length horror project to be produced by SRS/Scare-A-Con.
Submissions start immediately and the cut-off date for submission is June 30th, 2014. There is no cost to submit. Prize money for the winners is as follows:
1st Place: $500 and a chance to develop a feature length horror film with our combined studios.
2nd - 10th Place: $100 each.
Each of the top 10 filmmakers will get a cut of any profits generated from a release of the feature length anthology. The top ten finalists will be announced mid-August. The $500 winner will be announced at this year’s Scare-A-Con event, Sept 12th-14th, at the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, NY.
