Why should I submit to the Anthology Film Festival?

We seek to promote up-and-coming horror filmmakers. Our long term goal is to package existing short-form horror into feature-length horror anthologies with the original filmmakers maintaining their stake in the film.

My Film isn't a traditional sub-genre, where should I submit?

Submit to our Free For All Category! This category is for all those films that defy easy definition. Give us your mash-ups, unique visions, and genre-bending tales.

I can't afford the submission fee, is there a discount or waiver?

Absolutely! If you are in need of some extra support contact us at info@AthologyFilmFestival.com.

I have other questions not listed here, what should I do?

Reach out to us! We're brand new, so please let us know if you have any questions still unanswered. Reach out to us at info@AnthologyFilmFestival.com or reach out on social media.
