a 501(c)(3) dedicated to the next wave of horror filmmakers

The mission of Silverlake Scream Show is to ensure that emerging genre filmmakers have equitable access to educational and financial resources. We empower artists to produce professional-quality films that enrich and elevate the genre, and we foster community through inclusive educational events and exciting networking opportunities.

Introducing: FIRST BITE

A screening series focused on all things first feature. We’ll invite filmmakers to screen their debut feature and follow it up with an in person conversation about how they actually got that first feature off the ground. We’ll discuss writing, finding producers, casting, funding, distribution, everything and anything! Join us if you can!
