    A great surprise from the Panic Fest Team was this pop up fest in time for Halloween. Hope they make it an annual tradition. Like Panic Fest, which we had also shown another short film at, great curation and presentation. The fest team of Tim and Adam are real film enthusiasts and it shows. There was an overwhelming amount of awesomeness. Great features, multiple shorts blocks and some cool events, even Hungover bingo! And the whole thing was really well designed and thought out. Also stellar communication which is very important to us.
