What if we spent an evening celebrating Native horror stories this October??
We’re kicking around the idea of hosting an informal/small horror story festival (still workshopping a name, please feel free to send suggestions!) in late October to showcase the incredible Native storytellers (filmmakers and writers) in our community along with a crowd of people who love sovereign storytelling. Ideally, we’re looking to screen a few short films or story readings that fit the season, but could also be appropriate for a diverse audience. We're thinking ancestral creature features, haunting folklore, scary thrillers, etc.
Are you an Indigenous filmmaker or writer with a horror short or work-in-progress? Would you be interested in submitting your work for this event? Selected projects will receive a small stipend.
Please comment below if this is something you'd want to attend, you have a film/story ready to go, or you have ideas/feedback for us. We'd love to make this happen, but also want to make sure it's the right fit AND possible for our time frame.
