Zed Fest Schlock Horror Short Sreenplay Contest
Final Deadline: Contact contest for deadline info.
Zed Fest was formed to acknowledge and encourage new independent filmmakers and screenwriters. We noticed that there are a lot of talented and promising filmmakers and screenwriters that tend to get snubbed by other festivals and competitions simply because they are low budget or less polished. We want to give them the recognition that they deserve and try to help them build upon their abilities.User Feedback: 9 Comments (Post a Comment of your own)
