WHAT IS SHRIEKFEST?
Shriekfest is an international festival and screenplay competition dedicated to getting horror/thriller/sci-fi/fantasy filmmakers and screenwriters the recognition they deserve. What makes our festival unique is that we proactively help the filmmakers and screenwriters by promoting their work to the industry.
We are dedicated to celebrating the art of independent filmmaking without all of the politics!
