Amazing news!
My folk horror film The Stay has been awarded Best International Film at The Thing in the Basement Horror Fest, USA.
What an honour!
Many thanks to Tyler Darkow & all at the Fest for supporting our work, on behalf of the cast & crew of The Stay 🎃
Amazing news just in that The Stay has won BEST SHORT FILM in the MYSTERY category at the Hollywood Blood Horror Festival in Los Angeles USA.
What a wonderful post-Halloween treat!
My thanks to all at Hollywood Blood & to the cast and crew of The Stay and to all our supporters.
In case you missed it, I was interviewed by the wonderfully witchy Gaby Triana over at her magickal blog The Witch Haunt.
It’s a five minute read (perfect for when you’re taking a well earned break from casting hexes, or gathering the ingredients for a flying potion) and you can check it out here.
When you’re done, be sure to peruse the full selection of Horror-themed interviews, which include Ramsey Campbell, Lisa Morton, and Jonathan Maberry.
My thanks to Gaby Triana at The Witch Haunt.
UPDATE: The Starburst international  Film Festival has been rescheduled for 2018. More details when I get ’em!
Thrilled that my award winning short film ‘The Stay’ is in official selection at Starburst International Film Festival 2017.
Starburst Magazine says, “The Stay (Directed by Frazer Lee who wrote the screenplay for Panic Button), shows us a nightmarish holiday for one lone female. Broodingly creepy, this short is very much in the tradition of classic TV show Tales of the Unexpected.”
High praise indeed! And being selected by this festival has an extra buzz for me. Starburst was my first ever magazine subscription when I was a young monster kid, dreaming of making my own movies while poring over its full colour behind-the-scenes photo spreads.
The Starburst International Film Festival takes place in Manchester, UK across the Bank Holiday weekend August 25th-27th. Tickets are on sale now, and further details about the fantastic line-up are at the festival’s official site.
Check out a trailer for ‘The Stay’ starring Daniela Finley, below.
