Are you a teenager or college student with a passion for horror movies? Cadence is excited to invite you to participate in our upcoming Horror Film Festival! This is your chance to showcase your creativity and filmmaking skills by creating a short horror film that will be screened at the festival. Whether you prefer to be behind the camera or in front of it, we welcome all levels of experience and expertise. Our festival provides a unique opportunity to connect with fellow horror enthusiasts and to gain exposure in the film industry. We encourage you to push boundaries and think outside the box as you explore the thrilling world of horror. Join us for a frightfully fun and unforgettable experience!
