IHS Home Grown Horror Shorts: North West England

For years now, we’ve have had the pleasure of hosting our indie horror showcases, bringing together filmmakers, horror fans, and creatives to celebrate the best in independent genre cinema.

When we first took our event outside of London, Manchester was our first stop — and we were absolutely blown away by the support, enthusiasm, and incredible talent that attended and took part.

So, when it came to launching our regional showcases, we knew exactly where to begin.

We’re thrilled to introduce Homegrown Horror Shorts: North West England, taking place on Thursday, 11th June at 53Two in Manchester!

This special event will shine a spotlight on short horror films exclusively from filmmakers and key creatives based in the North West.

So join us at 53Two for a night of fun, meeting new friends, networking, and of course -- a great line up of incredible short indie horror films.

Doors open at 6:45pm, with films starting at 7pm sharp. There will also be a short break between blocks.

(Please note: standard IHS Members can get tickets for £11, and IHS Pro members get them for just £6. Please see our member hubs for the codes!)

What's more, 20% of all profit made on ticket sales will go straight into our -- so by coming along, you're actively helping creators fund their next projects!
