CHICAGO HORROR WORKSHOP

The Chicago Horror Workshop is a program produced by Curtis Matzke and Raul Benitez that emphasizes short-to-feature development for horror and genre films. The workshop will include a collection of resources, opportunities, and guest speakers who can help educate artists to the next stage of their careers. The goal of the project is to focus on creative storytelling techniques and a more nuanced approach to the work. The Chicago Horror Workshop examines how other successful filmmakers have launched professional careers in the genre space and appealed to wide audiences while maintaining a certain amount of integrity, diversity, and perspective that elevates the genre.

We are currently seeking funding to launch our inaugural workshop in 2021. For more information, please contact us at chicagohorror@gmail.com.
