www.sickchickflicksfilmfest.com www.facebook.com/sickchickflicksfilmfest twitter.com/sickchickflicksDue to Covid-19 we feel it would be safer to move our festival to the month of February, which seems fitting since it's Women In Horror Month.
ThIs is the 5th year for the Sick Chick's Film Festival! We accept short and feature films in one of the following genres: Horror, Sci Fi or Fantasy. Our emphasis is female filmmakers so we do require that at least one of the primary creative roles is filled by a woman (writer, director, cinematographer/director of photography). We will be showcasing work by some of the best indie filmmakers from NC and around the world.
For the second year we will once again be allowing filmmakers in attendance to Pitch Their Project to the audience for a cash prize. The audience will vote on which project gets funded.
