SUBMISSIONS OPEN MARCH 1st!

Please stand by while we select the best films to add to our lineup for 2022.

​

This is the 6th year for the Sick Chick's Film Festival! We accept short and feature films in one of the following genres: Horror, Sci Fi or Fantasy. Our emphasis is female filmmakers so we do require that at least one of the primary creative roles is filled by a woman (writer, director, cinematographer/director of photography). We will be showcasing work by some of the best indie filmmakers from NC and around the world.

​

We will once again be allowing filmmakers in attendance to Pitch Their Project to the audience for a cash prize. The audience will vote on which project gets funded.
