ZED FEST FILM FESTIVAL & SCREENPLAY COMPETITION HOPES TO DISCOVER THE CULT MOVIES OF THE FUTURE…
“We will be screening the best films sent to us from all over the world. We founded Zed Fest Film Festival & Screenplay Competition in 2010 to encourage and support independent, low- and big-budget filmmakers who work in the horror, suspense, science fiction, drama, action, adventure, and art house genres. The festival screens feature-length, short films, super short films and student shorts. Our films are fun, artistic and innovative. Come celebrate independent films with us!” – Wendy Medrano, Zed Fest Film Festival & Screenplay Competition Director
