The second annual Shot In The Dark Mysteries' mystery film festival is here! Show us your Mystery Film Shorts (10 minutes or less)!
Welcome to the Second Annual film contest and festival from Shot In The Dark Mysteries, focused solely on mystery, thriller and murder mystery films! Are you inspired by Hitchcock? Long to create Film Noir? Want to get hearts pounding with a compelling and to-the-point who-dun-it? Love the thrill of delivering a twist that makes your viewers gasp? You're in the right place.
As an all around company for mystery lovers worldwide, the mission of the Shot In The Dark Mysteries Film Festival is to shine a light (old-school interrogation style, perhaps?) on the work of those in the film community who specialize in a great thriller, who-dun-it or Film Noir. For the first of our annual Mystery Film Festivals, we are focusing on short films 10 minutes or less.
Since Covid has changed how we have to do things, for the time being we will be running this as an online showcase, however if things change before the deadline of September 1st, we will be reverting to the original plan, which was to have a full in-theatre film festival focused on the mystery genre. We are keeping our fingers crossed that this will be the case!
