We are so excited to inform you that we have just launched the Pittsburgh Horror Film Festival! The Pittsburgh Horror
Film Festival intends to provide a stage for all film makers to display their
work.
With four separate
screening rooms running simultaneously for 48 hours, the festival will
show a
minimum of one hundred films over the course of the weekend of June
3-5th 2011 at the Monroeville Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA. This
allows us to
give more film makers an opportunity to have their work appear on the
program. Our goal is to provide
exposure for more films and filmmakers than any other festival of this
kind. While we will feature the
horror genre, films from other genres that are submitted will be given
equal
consideration for placement on the program.
Submissions are
open for Features, Shorts, and Screenplays. All prizes and awards start
with at least $500 CASH and a unique film festival TROPHY.
We also have room for vendors!! Our 10x10 spaces start at $100 for the ENTIRE weekend!
So please look over the materials and lets get the ball rolling! We welcome any participation such as interviewing, featuring, or writing about
the Pittsburgh Horror Film Festival. The following press release, banner, and promo add is attached. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Not
interested in submitting, vending, or featuring? Attend the event for
one day for $20 or 48 HOURS for $30! Hotel discounts also apply.

When you immerse yourself in as many films as I did (an average of four per day), one comes away with a contact high from the encounters with unique individuals with unique stories and circumstances that stay with you (with me, at least). And while I am already...
