Event: The Misty Moon International Film Festival – Halloween 2018

March 20, 2018 / The Curator / Leave a comment

The Misty Moon International Film Festival is back again this Halloween, for another year of fantastic indie films and will be held on Saturday the 27th October at London’s ‘The Cinema Museum’, a venue of significant cultural importance within England’s capital city.

We are looking for short films of all genres to be submitted but as it is near Halloween and our judges are made up of actors and actresses from well know horror films we would appreciate a smattering of short horrors as well.

The evening will be hosted by legendary comedy duo Trevor and Simon, best known for BBC1’s Saturday morning alternative comedy shows Going Live! and Live and Kicking.

This year’s winner at The Misty Moon International Film Festival is “Cowboy Ben” directed by Jon Shaikh and Scott Rawsthorne. “Cowboy Ben” is a dark comedy – Ben, a man on the edge, meets a childhood friend in a trendy London bar, but with nothing to lose, it soon becomes clear he has a dark vendetta against the people he blames for his failings.
