On October 17th, NewFilmmakers Los Angeles is thrilled to present its latest red-carpet screening event with three fantastic short film programs. In celebration of Halloween, these programs will spotlight the thriller, horror, and sci-fi genres. In between films, audiences can check out check out filmmaker Q&As or meet and mingle with one another in the premium AT&T Center lounge and balcony over cocktails.

Our first program highlights conflicts of ‘Chance and Circumstance’, where one single action can change the course of our characters’ world in an instant. In our second program, ‘Inhuman Transgressions’, audiences will be astonished to see what lengths some people will take in order to get what they want. Our third program will have you on the edge of your seat in what has been programmed as ‘There Is No Escape’.

Tickets for individual programs are only $5 advance purchase / $7 at the door for single programs and $15 for all-access VIP tickets to all three programs with complimentary beverages.
