“Human activity has brought my kind to the edge of extinction, but I don't blame them for it. They just weren't paying attention ... and humans create such beautiful myths; what imaginations they have." - Ted Chiang
Newsletter 22.2 Returning December 1-4, 2022
Returning May 20th like your undead ex: Under Worlds Film Fest, a marathon two-day event of the best in indie horror, from the same team that brings you Other Worlds each December.
What started last year as a one-off afternoon is now expanded to fit more films and shorts as well. It will still be just one screen and an epic selection representing the full spectrum of horror. Miss it and leaving that back door unlocked won’t be your only regret.
Interested in submitting a film? Our team is accepting Feature and Short films to consider for this year's Under Worlds Film Fest program. Starting at $10, submissions can be sent in now through March 20th! Badge info will be coming very soon.
In the meantime, get ready for 2 days of horror movies (and perhaps some nefarious shenanigans). This fest weekend will also mark 6 months to go until its big sister festival.

Since presenting his short film at Other Worlds in December 2019, PREFIGURED was acquired by DUST, the sci-fi division of independent studio Gunpowder & Sky.
He is currently working on the development of his first feature film, THE BUILDOUT.
"A story of rebirth, recovery, and closure, propelled forward by an esoteric conduit, this women-led narrative follows the tectonic shift of a friendship over one fateful day. In the face of the unexplained, they lean into their truest selves and confront an unnerving new reality."
