First post in a while, but we'll try to be slightly more consistent in the future. But we come bearing good news. The Viscera Film Festival, which showcases the talents of women filmmakers in the horror field, is back looking for submissions for their 2011 festival. Above, you can see the new poster for the festival. If you're interested in submitting, or in the festival in general, hit the link here. But that's not all!
A Viscera-sponsored event is coming to Athens, GA on Friday, February 4th. Our very own Maven is deeply involved with the event, which will include screenings of Viscera entries. Don't believe me? Fine. Here's the official word from the event:

This event is a fun way to show support for the horror genre and its talented filmmakers. Knowing that part of the proceeds will benefit PROJECT SAFE makes participation that much more rewarding.
