Calling all aspiring filmmakers
Horror Channel in association with FrightFest and Movie Mogul are looking for short films made by UK filmmakers to enter their 666 Short Cuts to Hell competition. The film needs to fit the 666 criteria, it must have only 6 lines of dialogue, feature 6 members of crew and must cost less than £666 to make, amongst other criteria. If you think you can create something horrific within these constraints visit the Short Cuts to Hell website.
