Pest Control Film Festival is a Michigan-based festival committed to screening the horrific, the bizarre, the esoteric, and all other disquieting cinematic subgenres. Our brand has a wide range suited for equally wide reach: traditional horror, B-movie schlock, experimental oddities, grindhouse glory, animated aberrations, and the like. We encourage submissions that think outside the box and dare to challenge their audience.
Awards will be given to the following:
*Best Short Short
*Best Short Film
*Best Student Film
*Best Feature Film
*Best Michigan Made
*Plaque of Pestilence (the most shocking showpiece)
*Audience Choice
With a Special Jury Award given at the festival.
