Filmmaker Testimonials

Deepti Sharma Writer/Director

I highly recommend this festival for makers and fans of dark content and horror. They have a good curation and they are among the few groups bringing a good selection of horror for public viewing. As fans of the genre know, we are a small, but highly committed gang, always looking for good content.
