48-Hour Tasploitation Challenge Awards Night

48-Hour Tasploitation Challenge Awards Night

After a sell-out success of last year, the Stranger With My Face again begins with the results of the 2014 48-Hour Tasploitation Challenge. Arrive and get a drink before the event starts from 7.30, films start at 8 pm. Booking is recommended to ensure your seat. There are 17 short films being screened (with several intervals) and then awards will be given at the end of the night.

There is a costume theme for the audience of “your favourite horror sub-genre” - whether that’s from the Tasploitation Challenge team you were involved with or something else altogether. Get weird and creative! Prizes for best dressed.

Book early to avoid disappointment!

  • genre screenwriters Shayne Armstrong and Shane Krause
