    An amazing festival with a focus on the filmmakers and independent horror cinema, in general. The organizers do a great job promoting the festival at the convention. I hope to be invited back next year!

    This festival is awesome! I wasn’t able to attend in person, but Sean was always very communicative and very fast at responding to my questions. One of my actresses was able to attend and had a blast at the convention and we had a very good response to our film.
    Thanks Sean! Would definitely enter this festival again!
