Cape Fear Independent Film Festival
Because independent doesn’t mean working alone

It began as the “Sometime In October Film Festival,” screening films from as close as you backyard to as far as the other side of the globe. Three days in the month of October to celebrate the art and spirit of independent filmmaking set against the backdrop of beautiful, historic downtown Wilmington, NC home of EUE Screen Gems Studios and the current CW smash One Tree Hill. This festival has always focused on indigenous work, with a reduced entry fee for North Carolina filmmakers and free entry for all Wilmington made films.

Now in it’s 8th year, the festival has a new name and a new place on the calendar. We are proud to be joining forces with other Wilmington artists in May for the week long arts celebration, BRIDGE TO BRIDGE. The “Cape Fear Independent Film Festival” will kick off the week with three days of short films in a hip downtown location. The competition will be friendly but fierce, with the best film walking away with the $1000 Grand Prize. Awards will be given to the best films in 5 sub-genres as well.

The festival is the pinnacle event for CFIFN. It provides a fun and vibrant atmosphere for filmmakers to network outside group meetings, finding new colleagues and potential investors. It provides an educational focus with a yearly showcase of the best works from the Cape Fear Community College film program. And it allows filmmakers to share their art with the community at large. With sponsorship and community support, the festival continues to add new elements, like technology showcases and the Wayne Bradley Creative Spirit Award.

The Cape Fear Independent Film Festival will take place May 2-4 with screenings at City Stage and seminars, parties and other events scattered around the downtown area. Nina Repeta (Dawson's Creek, Radioland Murders) will serve as mistress of ceremonies for the festival and the following awards ceremony.

As the festival grows it will continue to promote the independent spirit and show people that bigger budgets don’t always mean better movies. For more information or to download your entry form, visit www.cfifn.org.

SUBMISSION FEES AND GUIDLINES:

All entries must be submitted on DVD or NTSC VHS tape. Length of film must be 45 minutes or less.

DEADLINE: March 1st -- FEE: $35

LATE DEADLINE: April 1st -- FEE: $45

North Carolina residents, take $10 OFF the entry fee.

Wilmington residents can submit any film out of competition at no charge. If you wish to have your film compete for a prize, you must pay the North Carolina entry fee.

Come out and celebrate, with two awesome parties and an all night filmmakers lounge, you won't want to miss this festival. Parties not your thing? Check out our seminars, Cinepartners of Wilmington will be on hand with equipment demonstrations and a short film distribution forum will help you get your projects seen by the world! visit www.cfifn.org today, download your entry form! See you in May!

Can you please let me know how I can list our Film Festival on Film Festival World? Somehow, it's eluding me.
Thanks!!

Slowly but surely they are now gaining the appreciation and respect that they deserve.

There is an incredible amount of talent in this field that goes unnoticed and unappreciated and The Eerie Horror Film Festival hopes to reverse that trend.

Since 2004 the Eerie Horror Film Festival has screened over 200 films and has featured appearances by Jason Mewes (Clerks), Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog), Dee Wallace Stone (Cujo), Tony Todd (Candyman), Tom Savini (From Dusk Till Dawn), PJ Soles (Halloween), Gunnar Hansen (Texas Chainsaw Massacre '74), Lloyd Kaufman (Troma), Eugene Clark (Land of the Dead), Joe Pilato (Day of the Dead), Lynn Lowry (The Crazies), Tom Atkins (Halloween III), Charles Cyphers (Halloween), Nancy Loomis(Halloween), Alex Vincent (Child's Play), Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick (The Omen '06), Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes), Brian Andrews (Halloween), Mark Borchardt (American Movie), John Hancock (Let's Scare Jessica to Death), Dorothy Tristan (screenwriter), Mark Steensland (The Gospel According to Philip K.
