The mission of the VISCERA Film Festival is to give recognition through participating sponsors, awards, and distribution for today’s female horror filmmakers making a difference in the genre. In doing this, the Chainsaw Mafia believes that more women will jump into the fold of horror, allowing a gateway for more women to develop careers in the film industry, which will cause a ripple effect in all industries for women to attain as many jobs and equal salaries to men.

The Viscera Project
The Viscera Project was created by women to facilitate the advancement of females reaching for more powerful roles within the horror genre. Now, more than ever, women are running their own horror production companies and directing, producing, writing, branching out into cinematography and even creating special FX. Viscera encompasses not only film, but dance, theater, photography, and graphic design. If you are a woman who works in the genre, contact us for the opportunity to be placed in the VISCERAL Women archive. The Mafia believes that the term “Scream Queen” refers to a woman who can perform both on/off camera and stage, in all aspects of production.
