WELCOME Hello and thank you for attending the fourth annual Crimson Screen Horror Film Festival! We are so thrilled that you are here and thank you for supporting our film festival! We moved locations once again to accommodate our growing audience, filmmakers, and screenwriters who attend each year! We love being in Park Circle and are thankful for the support from South of Broadway Theater this year. You are within steps of many restaurants, shops, and bars to visit during the festival. As we continue to grow as a festival, we will still make sure the fest stays true to our original purpose… the films and filmmakers. Crimson Screen is a great place to meet filmmakers from all over the world and make lifelong connections. We love hearing stories of how people were inspired at the fest by a film they saw, or a filmmaker they chatted with. Bringing in special guests each year is very important to us and this year we will be giving our second ever “Horror Icon Award” to our special guest Joe Bob Briggs. Don’t miss the special Q&A panel Joe Bob will be hosting on Saturday and be sure to have your picture taken with him on the dREaD carpet in front of our step and repeat! He will also be helping with our “Crimmy Awards” this year on Sunday! In the past we have been able to offer free workshops to our attendees and this year we have another one by local author and professor W. Scott Poole on “Adapting Horror Fiction: When it works, and when it goes wrong.” All of our screenwriters should take advantage of this one! Be sure to pick up one of our new t-shirts to add to your collection and get the visiting filmmakers to sign the back. It will make a great collectable and also help us to be able to continue to put on a great festival for you. The profits from our special edition posters and ads in our program will go to support our local animal rescues. Oh, and we have free popcorn this year! Congratulations to all the filmmakers and screenwriters that were selected as 2017 Official Selections and Screenplay Finalists. To be chosen over the hundred’s and hundred’s of submissions we received this year, the most we have received to date, should make you feel proud. Sincerely, Tommy Faircloth & Robert Zobel Founders of the Crimson Screen Horror Film Fest
