Fear Fest was born out of a passion for horror cinema and a desire to support independent filmmakers. We understand the challenges of bringing creative visions to life, especially when faced with financial constraints. Many talented filmmakers never get the chance to make their films because it would have taken millions of dollars. That’s why we created Fear Fest Horror Film Festival – to give filmmakers a chance to bring their visions to life without the burden of financial limitations. Our festival offers the world’s first and biggest prize in independent film festival history. This prize gives filmmakers the freedom to do what they please with the money, whether it’s investing in their next horror indie blockbuster or pursuing other creative endeavors. Fear Fest is dedicated to showcasing the best in modern independent horror films and providing a platform for both emerging and established filmmakers. All films submitted to the festival will be featured on our two 24/7 channels, giving filmmakers continuous exposure and the opportunity to reach a wider audience.
