𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐊𝐈𝐂𝐊-𝐎𝐅𝐅 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐘 𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒...
On October 3rd at the stroke of 7:00PM, you will be summoned before the horror gods to the Creative Veins Studio in Jacksonville's San Marco area. During this dark and spectacular kick-off party, you will learn all the details of this nightmarish fest, meet-n-mingle with other devilish fiends, form/join/register your team, and select your team captain. Your team captain will then draw blindly from our 4 cauldrons of fate to determine your team’s film requirements (Horror Sub-Genre, Conflict, Weapon, and Location). But, be warned, not all is what it seems; both tricks and treats are waiting for you inside each cauldron. If the horror gods favor you, you will receive a treat, a requirement that will help your film. Perhaps they will bless you with a knife to K*ll your characters with? Who doesn’t love the classics? On the other hand, if the gods frown upon your pathetic existence, they will curse you with a trick, and you will be forced to make the weapon of your film something less sinister like a dog chew toy or a maxi pad. Good luck writing that!

ART IS FOR EVERYONE!
Painting, sculpting, scrapbooking, crocheting, even filmmaking...everyone has an excellent idea for a scene, a character, or even an entire film within them! Still, most people would never dream of making a film because they don't know where to begin. But you don't need to know where to start or, quite frankly, anything else. All you need to know is that you're going to figure it out with the help of your team and have a blast doing it! You've seen enough movies to know the basics and we know you know how to use your phone! Plus, even if you're unsure, we've created a handy little guide to help you along the way!

𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐀 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞!
It's easy to dwell on all the reasons why you shouldn't, wouldn't, and couldn't make a film, but they pale in comparison with all the reasons why you should! So, grab your friends, grab your family, grab your neighbors, grab your co-workers, and start creating! Our fondest memories are usually not of whatever expensive thing we purchased or food we ate; they're the moments we cherish most are of the things we created with those we love. The time you made a soapbox derby car with your dad, the time you and your grandma baked a special cake, the summer where you and all your friends built that cool tree fort. How often have you wished you could go back and spend just a few minutes experiencing those special moments again? That's what makes filmmaking so unique; you're not only creating something with people you love, but the very thing you create will last forever and you can revisit that moment whenever you'd like!

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤-𝐨𝐫-𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐦 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭:
Our mission is to build and strengthen the community through creativity by producing an inclusive festival where participants of all experience levels can have fun, celebrate the spooky season, make new friends, express themselves without judgment, and build lifelong memories! Regardless of their education, experience, and background, we believe everyone possesses unique abilities, skills, and experiences that have artistic value. Therefore, we all benefit by inviting everyone to share their unique traits, perspectives, and ways of expressing themselves. We believe that every person who adds value should be recognized and that most of the people who make things great go unrecognized. So instead of mimicking other awards that acknowledge only a few key individuals, our awards seek to recognize all of the things that make films great! We believe that expression should be encouraged and celebrated. Everyone has a right to be heard and feel safe expressing themselves without being judged or labeled. We believe that censorship and demonizing those who don't share our views only further divides us. The way to unity is by first letting people speak freely, allow them to vent their emotions and frustrations, and understand why they feel the way they do. True tolerance requires us to live with people unlike us but still find a way to coexist. And in our experience, we are all much more alike than we think. Our differences make us unique, but our overwhelming similarities are what unites us. Now, on to making your epic horror film...
𝙒𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙡𝙡 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙞𝙩!
