About the festival

This October, The Ambler Theater, County Theater, & Princeton Garden Theatre will play host to a night showcasing short films that focus on the ghoulish terrors that go bump in the night.

Renew Theaters is giving an opportunity to area filmmakers to present their short films at one of our 3 historic art-house movie theaters. The only catch being, that it has to be a Horror Film, or have elements related to the Horror Genre.

Whether you're a first time filmmaker, a student, or a seasoned professional, we want to show your film on the big screen. This showcase will take place over 3 separate nights with 3 different line-ups at our 3 historic theaters located in Ambler, Doylestown, & Princeton.

So dust off that zombie film you made with your best buds last summer and submit your short films today!

WE ONLY ACCEPT FILMS WITH A CONNECTION TO Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Delaware. --- All other submissions from outside these states listed above won't be eligible

The Ambler/County/Garden Theaters & Renew's mission is to exhibit art as well as showcase independent and world films that offer the community an opportunity to experience a broad range of artistic and alternative expressions.
