IndieHorror.TV 2013 90 Day Short Film Competition

(Ann Arbor, MI) - IndieHorror.TV an online video streaming channel dedicated to airing and promoting the very best in Independent Horror including Original Series programming, Feature Length and Short Films announces The IHTV 2013 90 Day Short Film Competition.

Starting on June 15th and running until September 15th, filmmakers will have 90 days in which they can film a short film and submit it to the contest. All entries must be submitted by 12:00am EST on September 15, 2013 to be eligible. The contest is open to everybody no matter their level of experience making films.

Basic Rules:

1. Films must be 30 minutes or less in total length.

2. Films will be required to have a specific phrase and household item included in them to be eligible. These two specifics will be released on our Facebook page on the evening of June 14th, 2013.

3. Films must be entirely original and shot specifically for this contest (no editing previous short films to make them work with the competition).

4. Post-Submission period, all films will be placed very briefly on a YouTube playlist where our viewers can watch and vote on the shorts. They will be polled on a 1-10 scale and asked to rate the films. Once the Judging period has ended, all videos will be removed from our YouTube account.

5. The Judging Panel will consist of Robert Poole, Founder of IHTV, two members of The Three Corpse Circus Film Festival and the aggregate score of the viewer voting. The four scores will be combined for an average and the film with the highest overall average will be declared the winner.

6. Anything submitted to the contest will give IHTV indefinite license to air but NOT ownership rights nor exclusivity. You may air your film anywhere you would like, submit to film festivals, put it on online video sites, sell physical copies. It's your work, you own it. We just want the ability to continue to air the films.

The Grand Prize (The winning film will receive):

1. A plaque or trophy commemorating their achievement.

2. A spot in the Three Corpse Circus Horror Short Film Festival held in Ann Arbor, MI at The Michigan Theater on September 28, 2013.

3. A Live IndieHorror.TV Director's Chat (video chat) AT the Three Corpse Circus Festival with live audience participation.

4. IndieHorror.TV will start an Indiegogo to fundraise for your next feature length film. (Disclaimer: IHTV will get first broadcast rights, with a World Premiere and a handful of follow up airings.) The Fundraiser will go from September 29th - December 31st and will be promoted by our social media pages at least one time daily, every day during the Fundraising effort.

5. Founder, Robert Poole will personally donate $500 to jump start the fundraiser.

6. During our Halloween Week Long Marathon, multiple drop ins will be done during the 24/7 broadcast schedule, working in telethon fashion to plug the fundraiser.

7. On every broadcast between September 29th-December 31st we will have a banner at the bottom of the broadcasts reminding viewers of fundraiser.

IndieHorror.TV wants to do our part to help give Independent Filmmakers a place that will help promote their work and wants to help build a community of fans to embrace Independent Horror unlike anywhere else in the World. Part of our commitment to that process is to help filmmakers make more films and help their fundraising efforts in that regard.

In eight short months we've been able to have live interactive Director's Chats with some of the very best Directors in the genre and we've been able to air and promote some very special films. It is our honor to announce this competition as a way to help inspire even more great films from filmmakers and to do our part, especially with the grand prize, to help make something special. We encourage fans and filmmakers alike to join us on this journey.
