Lovecraft Under the Gun

Lovecraft Under the Gun 72 Hour Film Competition took place September 18-21st. Teams completed an entire Lovecraftian short film in just 72 hours. All scripting, filming, editing, scoring, and in some cases - set building, took place within that 3 day period. All teams were required to use a line of dialogue and a specific prop in the film. During this block, the entries will screen and the audience will vote on a winner based on technical and creative criteria. You may never get another chance to see some of these films, so don't miss it!
