Viscera Film Festival All Horror by Women!

If you are not familiar with the Viscera Film Festival let me get you up to date.

Shannon Lark

The Viscera Film Festival was started by founder Actress/Writer/Director Shannon Lark (Lipstick, Psychic Experiment) 5 years ago.  She wanted to see a festival where women in horror were treated equally and were given a fair chance to showcase their work.
Lark runs the Festival and the yearly charity drives with her board members Heidi Honeycutt and Stacy Pippi Hammon.  These three ladies know how to entertain and how to raise awareness.

Since starting the festival it has grown exponentially and in it's 5th year has become a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.  For the first time VFF will be held at the world famous Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, CA on July 7, 2012.

This is the first year Viscera FF is presenting a Feature Film and it is the Feature Directorial Debut of Danielle Harris (Halloween 4, Rob Zombie's Halloween) and produced by Jennifer Blanc (Dark Angel, The Victim)
