What is scarier than being cooped up for months in quarantine? Whatever your imagination can put on screen!

Join Emerald Coast Filmmakers and Production Services Association for the 2020 Bad Blood Film Challenge. Use your creativity to come up with a horror short less than 3 minutes long using what you have at your disposal and following current social distancing guidelines. Don’t worry about it being slick—some of the most effective horror films are rough around the edges.

Official Selections will be screened on Facebook Live Sunday, November 22 at 5:00 pm to be followed by awards! Judging will look at imaginative storytelling, the scare quotient, and how much fun the filmmakers seemed to have in making it!

The Bad Blood Film Challenge is a collaboration between Emerald Coast Filmmakers and PSA NWF - Production Services Association.

    A wonderful event that showcased a variety of genres and films! The film requirements were simple enough to allow creative expression and I hope this event continues in some form in the future!
