Have you ever watched a movie trailer and loved it only to be disappointed when you finally see the movie? Yeah...we have too. So this festival is dedicated to those great movie trailers that make us wish there was a movie. So send us your monsters, zombies, possession, and stalker trailer, we want them all.
This is not a short film festival but rather a movie trailer festival. Which means we want commercials for films that exist, will exist in the future, or we wish existed.
The selected trailers will be screened at the historic Vista Theatre in Los Angeles on Saturday October 22, 2016.
