July 1, 2020-UPDATE

As Frightfilm Competition 2020 continues, we want to make sure you have everything and everyone you need. First, remember that physical distancing should be part of your pre-production, production and post-production. You can have all the meetings you need via video conferencing. On location, remember to wear masks, plan out your shot composition and shot sheet to minimize the chance of exposure and wipe down the equipment. This year please think carefully about the size of your crew. Maybe a big crew with lots of separate positions and craft-services isn’t the best move this fall.


We also hope you take advantage of the Frightwrite Competition. We have a bunch of screenwriters creating scripts, one of which may be right up your “shadow filled alley”. Stay tuned here to find out how to work with them.

As things change we’ll post updates about Frightfilm here and on our Facebook page. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to send an email to entry@frighfilmcompetition.com.

In the meantime, wash your hands, wear a mask and spread the word, not the virus.

FFC Description:
A short film competition that's all about scaring your audience

Whether you're a working professional or a young beginner, we challenge you to make a short (13 minutes or less) horror film and scare the pants off your competition.

You'll have enough time. This is not a weekend production. You'll have 2 months to write, produce and edit your scary film. We'll supply several criteria that you'll need to include. Films that don't include the criteria will be disqualified. You can only begin filmmaking in August 2020 and it must end in October.

Stay tuned to our FreeFilmway page or FrightFilmCompetition.com for more information.
