MISSION & OBJECTIVE
The MOTOR CITY NIGHTMARES INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (MCNFF) was created to showcase and celebrate the latest and greatest contributions of independent Horror, Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Thriller films and screenplays from around the world!
We help filmmakers and screenwriters get the exposure and recognition they deserve!

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
MCNFF is focused on bridging the gaps between filmmakers, fans, and financing. Since our film festival is part of our horror convention, we offer filmmakers the unique chance to hang with the horror icons, party with the fans, and network with distribution representatives and financiers.

At our April 2018 festival we featured 13 World Premiers, 2 North American Premiers and 32 Convention Premiers. We accept a wide variety of films and you may enter your film in multiple categories. We are expanding the number screenings this year to accommodate more films.

Awards & Prizes

Sponsor: Skull House Pictures

    We had a great time attending the festival! The panels were FANTASTIC! It would be nice if the film makers had lanyards with their film information on it so film makers could easily identify each other to network. It's highly attended by horror fans, so it was difficult to tell who other film makers were. Other than that... it was a horrific good time and I plan to attend next year!
