MEDIA RELEASE: Hobart – 22 February —The inaugural Stranger With My Face Horror Film Festival wrapped up in Hobart on Sunday night with an awards ceremony and script reading event to celebrate the winners of the 10 By 10 Short Horror Script Challenge.
Registered participants had 10 days to come up with an original horror script, upon being given a ‘secret code word’ to spark their imagination.
Sixty-five writers registered, with 39 completed scripts emerging at the end of the competition.
“We were quite surprised that so many people came up with the goods,” says the festival’s Briony Kidd. “Even better, the judges found the overall quality to be very high.”
The winning script, announced at a special ‘bloody carpet’ event at Salamanca Arts Centre, was Little Lamb by Heidi Douglas. She’s a Tasmanian filmmaker who currently resides in Sydney.
