CUT! HORROR COMPETITION

THE HORROR CHANNEL PRESENTS
UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR ASPIRING DIRECTORS

Bloodthirsty budding directors with a passion for horror are being offered a unique opportunity to have
their work judged by experts in the movie industry.

The Horror Channel, in association with Ghost House Mobile, is running a unique short film competition
and has secured a panel of elite judges including US producer Rob Tapert (The Grudge and
The Evil Dead), New York director Lloyd Kaufman (Toxic Avenger, Tromeo & Juliet and the upcoming
Poultrygeist) and internationally renowned film critic Alan Jones.

The aptly-titled competition CUT!, launches in the UK on April 17 and entrants are encouraged to send
in a two-minute horror film. The winners will get the chance to see their names in lights and their films
on the big screen. The films will also be edited for mobile and made available on an exclusive Horror
Channel WAP site launching in mid-April and on Ghost House Mobile.

The winner of the Short Film Competition will receive £5000 and the top three winning films will be
shown to a packed public theatre at the next prestigious Frightfest at The Odeon in Leicester Square.

There are also excellent cash prizes for runner ups.

“The movie industry can be a cut-throat business and we are delighted to be able to provide a platform
for a filmmaker to showcase their work from,” says Zone Vision’s Chief Business Development and
New Media Officer Tanya Gugenheim. “Zone Vision, which owns The Horror Channel, continues to be
at the forefront of new media trends, and working with some of the industry’s top talent such as
Rob Tapert and Lloyd Kaufman, also helps us to reach new audiences.”

“I think this is a great way to find new, exciting talent. The CUT! competition is open to anyone with
a camera, an idea and the desire to shoot something cool and scary. I'm really looking forward to
seeing what the filmmakers of tomorrow create,” says Rob Tapert.

Lloyd Kaufman says: “This competition is more exciting than the Commonwealth Games!”

The closing date for CUT! is June 16
