This will be the 3rd year of the First Cut Film Festival and lots of surprises are waiting for you! We will showcase films in the horror, macabre and/or obscure genres. The goal of the festival is to bring together talented independent filmmakers and film lovers, capturing Wilmington’s love of horror right in time for the Halloween season. We are currently accepting film submissions and sponsorships.
The Event will Feature:
• Four 90-minute film blocks containing a mix of local, national and international films
• Director Q&A and awards given after each block
• Time for mingling and connecting in the Jengo’s back bar between each block
• An opening launch party on Friday, October 3rd for sponsors and filmmakers
• An after party at Jengo's on Saturday, October 4th that is open to the public
