Feedback from filmmakers:
John Michael Elfers (Finale): "Saying that we had a tremendous experience at A Night of Horror would be an understatement. It was our world premiere and exceeded our expectations. The festival staff was on call to answer questions, pass out programs and promote, not to mention their proud sponsors offering wine and energy drinks to power through long nights networking and celebrating. The screenings were packed, projection was gorgeous and the Dendy theater is beautiful. We had a blast with the Q&A after our screening. A Night of Horror is committed to helping independent horror filmmakers find their audience and get noticed. They put our film in the hands of distributors, reviewers, and got us on the radio. The personal attention was unlike anything I've experienced at other festivals."
Mike Masters (Reel Zombies): "I've attended all types of festivals across the world with Reel Zombies and my experience at A Night of Horror ranks amongst the best of them all. Festival Directors Dean Bertram and Lisa Mitchell do a great job and the festival is extremely well organized with a great selection of films making inclusion in the festival an honour. I look forward to seeing this festival continue to grow and expand and it will be at the top of the list for festivals to submit to with my next genre picture"
Damien Slevin (A Break in the Monotony): "I was very honoured to be a part of A Night of Horror International Film Festival. As a lover of the genre it is one festival that I would want to attend, let alone be included in. It is the only festival flying the horror flag in Australia, which in some respects is unfortunate; but on the other hand horror could not have better representation than this gem of a festival. Aside from the great line up of quality international and domestic films it would have to be about the friendliest and most welcoming fest I have attended. I look forward to next year's line up."
Daniel Giambruno (The New Life): "At last! A film festival in Sydney which is not about having cocktails with public servants!... unless they have been dead for three weeks and still willing to tear the Scream Queen's dress into shreds... to start with! Horror and fantasy are without doubt the genres that give film directors the most creative freedom. And if A Night Of Horror is the only festival in Australia that celebrates these genres, that also means that is the only festival in the country that cares about the true essence of filmmaking."
David Curzon (Overboard): "A welcoming and well organised festival with a great atmosphere."
Paul Campion (Eel Girl): "Dean Bertram and the other organizers are really passionate about horror films and filmmaking in general, and as a filmmaker attending the festival they're incredibly supportive and welcoming... there was no question of entering our second film... the feedback and exposure from A Night of Horror was so good."
Director John Michael Elfers, and DOP Ryan Harris accept "Independent Spirit Award" for their feature film Finale at the 2009 festival.
