Greetings filmmakers and lovers of zombie gore!

July 6, 2009

First off, a huge thank you to Jim Taylor for getting this blog and film fest off and running. If I wasn’t working my ass off on the pencils for a comic book these last few weeks I would have helped more but alas, we all can’t work as writers, hanging around in sleazy pubs all day swilling beer over a Mac Book (lucky bastard).

I just wanted to say good luck to all who enter. Think outside the usual parameters for zombie films. A good zombie film may not even need a single zombie in it. Also don’t forget about puppets, porn and animation! As if making a zombie film wasn’t hard enough.

FORMAT UPDATE: Please burn all entries to DVD (NTSC). Please use the highest quality & resolution possible.

Use what you have and what you know.

July 3, 2009

Since we’re charging an entry fee, it only seems fair that we offer a cash prize.

So we will. that’s just how we roll.

The Zombie Short Film Festival is the brain-child of Jim Taylor and Cory Laffin, two dudes who live in Toronto. We are hoping to hold it at the Revue Cinema, on Roncesvalles Avenue, in Toronto. Our target date is Friday, October 30th.

But there can’t be a festival without submissions! And that’s where, we hope, you will come in.

If you are a filmmaker, an aspiring filmmaker, or a friend or loved one to a filmmaker, please tell them about our festival! We are accepting any and all submissions at this point, from any place.

The criteria is as follows:

1) It must be a short film with a maximum running time of 20 minutes.

2) It must involve zombies.

If you are interested in making a submission, have any questions, or wish to volunteer your time and/or services to this noble film festival, please contact us at zombieshortfilmfestival@gmail.com.
