WELLINGTON FILMMAKERS… ARE YOU READY TO FIND YOUR TRIBE? 📣

Terror-Fi Film Festival and Screen Wellington are THRILLED to bring you… TERROR-FIND MY TRIBE! A brand-new Wellington based filmmaking competition... with a twist. 👀

We’re asking you to SIGN UP AS AN INDIVIDUAL… not as a team. Why? Because we want you to meet new collaborators, new colleagues, and make new friends. But most importantly… we want to help you find your filmmaking tribe. 🖤

You’ll be thrown into a creative challenge and teamed up with fellow Wellington-based emerging filmmakers and crew you may have never worked with before. Together you’ll create something bone-chilling, brain-melting, offbeat, or awe-inspiring to thrill the crowds at Terror-Fi. 🎬

Every film will screen at the 10th Anniversary of the Terror-Fi Film Festival, 28 Oct - 1 Nov, at The Roxy Cinema. 🍿 A jury of experienced film professionals will select the TOP THREE FILMS, with winning teams taking home a range of cash and other seriously exciting prizes. 🏆👏

So… are you ready to find your tribe? Ready to make a seriously cool genre flick? 🔥

Find out more and sign up here: https://terrorfifest.com/tfmt/

Applications close 20 SEPT 6:00 PM.

Be the first to see Eli Roth’s new horror ICE CREAM MAN at the New Zealand Premiere!

Sweet treats that turn children into homicidal maniacs – served up by a creepy man with a pencil moustache – sounds every bit like the kind of blood-soaked entertainment that would come from the director of “Thanksgiving” and “Hostel” … and we’re totally here for it!
