Horror Realm Film Contest

Are you an independent filmmaker with a horror movie that you want to promote?  Horror Realm presents its 2009 Independent Horror Feature Film Contest – first prize is a film distribution package provided by R2 Films!  The winning film will be distributed by R2 via its TV\Cable\Video on Demand\DVD\Pay Per View distribution channel, and promoted through R2’s nationally run TV commercials and on its celebrity hosted TV show "Horror Highway".  

 R2 Films was started by award-winning producers, directors and editors who were tired of dealing with ineffective and corrupt distributors.  Their goal is to create a community where filmmakers can feel secure in distributing their films and know that their films will be treated with respect.  For more information, visit www.rsquaredfilms.com.
