5 MINUTE HORRORS | Port of Fear

Do you love horror films? Have an interest in film - directing, cinematography, acting, makeup or editing? If you answered yes - prepare to bring your nightmares to life!

You, and the team you build, will have 48 hours to craft a horror, sci-fi, fantasy or thriller film of your very own! Starting with a Friday kickoff event, revealing specific props or prompts each film must include, you will be creating a 5 minute masterpiece from start to finish!

This challenge is primarily for high school students in the Southeastern WI area. Through this challenge, you will hone your skills in team building, communication, delegation & collaboration - everything needed to create a great film!

And here's an extra perk - all students who participate in the 5 MINUTE HORRORS for the 2024/2025 season will be a part of our 2025 Port of Fear Film Festival season! Your films will be featured in your very own block of films, free for friends and family to attend. Additionally, as a filmmaker in the 2025 Port of Fear Film Festival, you will get a Filmmaker lanyard for access to all film blocks of our 2025 season!
