Shortcuts to Hell 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Horror Channel, FrightFest and Movie Mogul have teamed up again, with new partner Wildseed Studios, to create SHORTCUTS TO HELL 2, a nationwide search for new filmmaking talent ready to make their first horror feature film. <\/p>\n

The winning filmmaker will have their film produced by Movie Mogul and Wildseed Studios, entering production early 2015, with a minimum cash production fund of \u00a320,000. The completed feature film will receive UK digital distribution, its world premiere at Film4 FrightFest 2015, and a broadcast premiere on Horror Channel. <\/p>\n

Launching on 13 May 2014, the jury panel (to be announced shortly) will be looking for a highly driven individual with a burning desire to make their first feature film. All entries will need to submit a 3-minute short film version of their full-length horror movie idea and their submission must clearly demonstrate the core idea, premise, story and characters in narrative form. A shortlist of twenty-six finalists will then be invited to an interview where they will have the opportunity to pitch their feature film directly to the jury panel.<\/p>\n

Three filmmakers will then go forward to this year\u2019s FrightFest event at the Vue West End in London, and have their 3-minute films screened before the discerning FrightFest audience. Their work will be broadcast on Horror Channel throughout August and September, where the overall winner will be chosen by public vote. The twenty-six finalists will also receive significant exposure via Horror Channel and UK digital distribution channels. <\/p>\n

All entries will have ten weeks to turnaround their cinematic visions of hell and upload to YouTube, submitting the link to submissions@shortcutstohell.com by 6pm on 22nd July. Downloadable T&C\u2019s from shortcutstohell.com<\/A> must be adhered to.<\/p>\n

THE RULES
\n\u2022\tMax duration 3 minutes
\n\u2022\tOriginal material (made for the competition only). Existing film promos WILL NOT be considered.
\n\u2022\tMax production budget capped at \u00a3666 (evidence required)
\n\u2022\tApplicants with previous feature film credits as writer\/producer and\/or director will not be accepted<\/p>\n
