Filmmakers will have 48 hours to make a horror film based on the horrific subgenre assigned to their particular team. The Bloodshots staff will assign each team a subgenre along the lines of Torture Porn, Ghost Story, Backwoods, Revenge Fantasy, or something like that. Then they’ll assign a weapon along the lines of a Chainsaw, a Vehicle, a Piano Wire, or a Bolt of Lightning, and a line of dialog that will have to be in everyone’s film. Using those prompts for inspiration, filmmakers will have EXACTLY 48 hours to make the most kick ass film you can. Filming will take place starting at 7pm on Friday, September 5, and completed films will need to be turned in and uploaded to the website no later than 7pm on Sunday, September 7. All completed films will be screened at the Alamo Drafthouse in the weeks leading up to Fantastic Fest, and the Best Of and Awards Ceremony will be a featured screening in the film festival itself. Registration for filmmaking teams is now open at FilmmakingFrenzy.com for both of these competitions, and it’s completely free to sign up.
