Red Ditch Halloween Film Festival

STOP PRESS!!!! Our wonderful sponsors at www.cinelaya.com, who provide a suite of film making tools, have very kindly offered a first prize of $500 and a gleaming trophy for the overall best film!!!
Please help support them by visiting their site and running your next project with their amazing free service.

Now in its second year, The Red Ditch Halloween Film Festival is once again open for your spooky submissions!

Films must have been made after Jan 1st 2015, and be no longer than 30 MINUTES LONG including titles and credits, and most of all, they MUST BE HORROR.

We accept gore, monster, gothic and psychological, and any other sub genre, just as long as it's horrific.

The chosen entries will be shown at The Palace Theatre Room Upstairs, Redditch, on Saturday 28th October 2017.

Located between Worcester and Birmingham, Redditch is the ideal town to host this event and the Palace Theatre is the obvious choice of venue being a Grade II listed building and one of only a few truly Edwardian Theatres in existence.

All entries are a flat $10 for each category entered.

Tickets to the event are a meagre £10 (incl. booking fee), and are available from ourselves or the Palace Theatre Box Office on 01527 65203

Successful entries will be shown throughout the afternoon and evening, with the goriest and scariest being saved for after dark.

Audience members are encouraged to dress up in their spookiest clothing to celebrate this Halloween event. The evening session will be hosted by Redditch's own Mortimer Balmer.

Don't miss out on Worcestershire's number one Halloween event of 2017 .... and start preparing your entries now. The closing date is the August 31st 2017.

See you at Mortimer's Morgue for a night of deadly terror. Mwahahaha.

(Ps. please note we do not offer any critical feedback for any entries.)
