Bloody Disgusting is excited to announce this week that each upcoming Days of the Dead Film Festival will exclusively screen a specially curated block dedicated to Bloody Disgusting’s BLOODY BITES, which you can currently watch episodes of on SCREAMBOX and Pluto TV On-Demand as well as Roku, Tubi, Sling, and a number of other platforms.
Bloody Disgusting’s Tony Wash (filmmaker and BD TV Acquisitions / Programming) has partnered with Days of the Dead Film Festival’s George and Audery Lane (Directors & Programmers), looking to acquire horror themed shorts from the film festival to be included in future episodes of the show.
“I’ve been attending DotD conventions as a filmmaker and patron for almost a decade and love what George and Audery have done to build this film festival! Knowing how important the convention circuit is for indie filmmakers such as myself, I could think of no better way to promote acquisitions for Bloody Bites than through a partnership with DotD’s film festival.”
DOTD will also present a special certificate award to their favorite BLOODY BITES short during the film festival awards ceremony at their events. To submit your film to the Days of the Dead Film Festival, go to the FilmFreeway link here – https://filmfreeway.com/DaysoftheDeadFilmFestival
“The importance of this partnership is to discover indie talents at a time when the film industry desperately needs fresh ideas,” said co-director and programmer George Lane, adding, “Our goal is to introduce audiences to quality films that are rarely seen because they are shorts.”
“There are amazing short films across the globe which people miss out on unless they attend a film festival,” stated festival directors. “This partnership has given filmmakers the best chance to have their hard work seen around the world and we’re flattered that Bloody Disgusting appreciates the quality of feature and short films that come through our festival,” said co-director and programmer Audery Lane.
“It’s been less than two years since I asked George and Audery’s team to revamp our film festival. They have far exceeded expectations by building it into a staple within the horror community and a prominent horror film festival so quickly,” said Days of the Dead owner Bill Philputt.
Days of the Dead has multiple conventions throughout the year in Houston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Las Vegas and Indianapolis. “The excitement from our fans for adding Houston as another location to our events has been enthusiastically vocal,” stated Bill Philputt. The Houston event will be held at the Houston Marriott Westchase, September 29 – October 1, 2023.
Days of the Dead convention, August 25 – 27, 2023 at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport, continues to bring some of the largest names in horror and pop culture to their numerous events across the United States each year. Not just the nostalgia fuel that made us fans in the first place, but modern names also. Days of the Dead offers iconic film and television celebrity guests (new and old), music, sports, and pop culture. There are panels, a costume contest, tattoo expo, a comedy show, and much more, in addition to the film festival which offers workshops, filmmaker panels, and post screening Q&A’s. The film festival award ceremony for the summer cycle was held at the Indianapolis event, June 23 – 25, 2023.
