Hollywood,
CA - March 2nd, 2015. February is known for being the Women in Horror Recognition Month,
but according to L.J. Rivera, founder and director of the RIP Horror InternationalFilm Festival, the
vital contribution of women to the genre must be celebrated all year round.
Starting
this year, the RIP Horror International Film Festival has created the Best
Female Filmmaker Award which will be granted to the work of an
outstanding female director of horror films. This prestigious honor will
be added to the already exciting lineup, including awards for Legend of
Horror and Rising Star.
“I
want to contribute to the empowerment of women working in the business for the
advancement of the horror genre. Award winning female filmmakers like Maria Olsens, Adriana Polito, Patricia Chica, and Jessica Cameron are making the
difference. We want to support the achievements of outstanding filmmakers like
these who are creating some of the most exciting and innovative work in the
genre, as well as promote undiscovered talent waiting to explode onto the
scene,” says the festival founder L.J. Rivera.
Additionally, the festival will unveil the new darkly exquisite
statuette called the "Bloody Doll Award." These dolls are the
original hand-crafted creations of brilliant designer Deborah
Blount of Deborahz Demented Dollz and will surely become a highly sought after
collector’s item.
The
3rd edition of the RIP Horror International Film Festival will
be held on October 30th and 31st 2015 in
Hollywood, CA. Just in time for Halloween!
