The Wild West Film Fest Horror Edition is on deck this weekend to give filmmakers a scary good challenge: write, edit and produce a film in 48 hours.

The 48-hour festival, which is donating proceeds to the Hollywood Hawks Career Orientation program and KU Filmworks, works like this:

– Teams of filmmakers sign up Friday,
Oct. 21.

– After signing up, they will be given
secret criteria that all films must
follow.

– The teams must turn in their films by
10 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 23.

– The films will be reviewed and the
top 25 films will be screened Sunday,
Oct. 30 at Liberty Hall.

The top three films will win prizes for their teams, including $100 and gift certificates.

Teams can sign up in person between 7 and 9 p.m. Friday at Henry’s on Eighth or at Hollywood at Home in Overland Park, or online at www.wildwestfilmfest.com.

The Oct. 30 showing begins at 7:30 p.m. at Liberty Hall, with doors opening at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5.
