Overview

Screamfest Horror Film Festival receives film submissions from around the country. Finalists are selected to have their works screened at the prestigious Grauman's Mann Chinese Theatre 6 in Hollywood, CA.  Writers and directors will meet with agents, film executives and distributors during the 10 day event. Individual and film passes will be sold to the general public to increase awareness of their works. With the fund we will also be able to create jobs by hiring 4 year-round staff members to work for this non-profit organization. Hiring these salaried staff members will benefit the community as local, state and government taxes will be paid. Educational seminars  will be held on the artistry of special effects makeup, writing, film distribution.

Deliverables:

2 theatre rentals, minimum 8,000 attendees during 10 days

75-100 films screened

National press mentions (LA Times, NY Times, EW etc.)

Mentions on local news and radio station

$10,000 from corporate donors

 

How will the 250K be Used?

Budget Notes: Seminars on special effects makeup, writing and film distribution will provide education in these areas. Film screenings will give directors a platform to showcase their works. It will also educate the community on filmmaking. The festival provides entertainment value for the general public.
