SLAY calls for filmmakers to send in homemade short horror films—eight minutes or less—capturing what scares them most. From classic ghost stories and slasher films to dystopian cults and political nightmares, SLAY dares you to show us your darkest fears. We know reality is scarier than fiction right now. Let’s purge our fears together. All you gotta do is SLAY. SLAY will open in Seattle and Portland in October 2020.
ALL SUBMISSIONS FOR THE 1st ANNUAL SLAY FILM FESTIVAL ARE DUE NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2020 AT 5PM PST.
SLAY welcomes every horror genre: Slow burns and thrillers! Giallos and Grand Guignols! Ghosts and spirits! Trumpian sci-fi! Deep-state Cthulhus! Weirdos and witches! Capitalist cults! Buckets of blood! Climate change dystopias!
