Since 2006, Thriller! Chiller! International Fantastic Film Festival has paid tribute to true independent filmmaking, showcasing works on the cutting-edge of storytelling in action, horror and sci-fi! Our festival directors are filmmakers themselves and realize the immense work it takes to create a consistent vision and complete a film. They do everything they can to make the filmmaker’s participation in the festival enjoyable. The festival was created in order to provide a unique platform of recognition and appreciation to the movie genres that are simply ignored at more conservative film festivals. We provide a platform for recognition of the world’s most popular movie genres. The festival provides a fun, engaging atmosphere for fans and filmmakers, and centers its customer experience on delivering movies that entertain our audiences. We're also home to The Groovys, the coolest handcrafted trophies awarded including "The Boomstick Award" for Best of Festival!
