HALLOWEEN-O-THON 2024: END TIMES
Write, shoot and edit a thriller or horror short film for the Halloween-o-thon Film Competition
The end is nigh, so why not make a movie? Register now and begin creating something to help fill the void and distract from the feelings of impending doom and ruination.
Registration Deadline: Friday, October 18
Submission Deadline: Friday, October 25 at 11:59pm!
All films must be under 7 minutes!
Feel free to be inspired by our theme, but don’t let it limit you. The only requirement is being frightening.
Our Spooktacular Showcase & Awards ceremony will be held on Saturday, October 26 @ 5:30pm at JAM. Costumes heavily encouraged!
We will screen all of our submissions and conclude the night with a bone chilling ceremony of awards. Immediately following the awards ceremony will be WRJ’s Gory Daze Halloween Parade and AffordaBall!
Questions? Concerns? General feelings of unease?
Reach out to jordyn@uvjam.org. No promises they can help, but they will try!
