CineXposé Film Festival ()

Festival start: 13 January 2023      Festival end: 22 January 2023

Calling out to all Horror Film Developers, Students, and anyone who wants to be a part of the Horror Genre. The Second Annual CineXposé Independent Horror Film Festival presented byDead Talk Media, LLC , a revolutionary virtual film festival created with the purpose of exposing gifted autonomous filmmakers, is scheduled to take place from January 13-15 and 20-22, 2023. However, our film submissions process is officially open so we encourage all Indie Horror Filmmakers to submit their media projects as soon as possible.
The CineXposé Horror Film Festival will differ from other such events in that there are no fees or costs to filmmakers who submit their projects. Furthermore, our “by invitation only” film festival will not only be viewed by industry professionals, but also by our social media followers (over half a million). With our tradition of letting our audience choose the winners, the power of social media will be employed in choosing our CineXposé winners.

Festival Prize(s):

Our “by invitation only” audience will vote for their favorite films and choose our winners. The four (4) films to receive the most votes will be considered the Grand Prize winners. Their prize includes being invited as guests of honor to an “Indie Horror” themed special edition of Dead Talk Live, where they can tell our audience about their film, inspirations, and upcoming projects. The episode will stream through all our Social Media outlets, and on Screambox in 2022!

Additionally media projects with the most votes (which include our Grand Prize Winners) will be produced by Dead Talk Media LLC into some of our other upcoming projects. Film shorts might be combined into anthology style films, or might be included in our upcoming anthology TV series. So there will be many winners at the CineXposé Film Festival!
