BANDSFF will include feature films and short films. We especially want your horror submissions. Yes, we watch them all and can't wait to do it. We're eager to have filmmakers be part of BANDSFF. We will award best feature and best short. We will also award best overall director and best overall horror film. Our goal is to become a place where filmmakers can showcase their efforts and continue to grow. Our event will be taking place at the Showplace Cinema in Harrisburg, Illinois.
