About the festival

From the makers of GenreBlast comes a down and dirty weekend celebration of grindhouse, exploitation, cult, underground, and midnight cinema.

We are now in a new place! Don't worry there's still lots of fun to have and plenty to do around the Chattanooga area!

We're looking for features, shorts, fake trailers, and grindhouse screenplays mainly in the categories of Midnight/Cult, Grindhouse/Exploitation and Extreme Horror. Show us what you got!

We have all of the essentials: a kick-ass theater, a sweet bar, and your films! Plus access to restaurants and pubs in the downtown Chattanooga area. Network with fellow filmmakers and revel in all the juicy, gory, and groovy cinematic goodness we're putting together.

Awards for the following categories:

Plaques/certificates:

Best Feature Film
Best Short Film
Best WTF Film
Best Micro Short
Best Actress
Best Actor
Best Director
Best FX
Best Cinematography
Best Score
Best Screenplay
Best Editing
Best Local Film
Best Fake Trailer

and, our top honor:

The FaceGrinder Trophy (spirit of the fest award)

Plus:

Sponsor swag, fest t-shirts, etc...

The winner(s) of the screenplay competition will have their script read live at the fest by a cast of crazy actors. It will be streamed live and also recorded for posterity. Screenwriters are encouraged to attend and network.
