About The Festival

The First Cut Film Festival will showcase films in the horror, macabre and/or obscure genres. The goal of the festival is to bring together talented independent filmmakers and film lovers, capturing Wilmington’s love of horror right in time for the Halloween season. We started collecting film submissions in December 2023 and already have over 115 submissions from more than 15 countries.
The Event will Feature:
• Four 90-minute film blocks containing a mix of local, national and international films
• Director Q&A and awards given after each block
• Time for mingling and connecting in the Jengo’s back bar between each block
• Guest speakers/demonstrations presented by members of the horror film community
• An opening launch party on Friday, October 3rd for sponsors and filmmakers
• An after party on Saturday, October 4th that is open to the public
