And it’s done! The final 12 of the Make My Movie competition has been revealed, as chosen by a vast range of international judges (we even guessed some of them correctly). With just a tagline, synopsis and poster image, these finalists are in the running for a $200,000 budget to make their horror concept into a feature film. Be sure to hop on over to their respective page and give the ideas you love a hearty ‘like’.
Meanwhile, because his nepotastic entry wasn’t chosen, Liam is currently punching holes in that walls/gently sobbing in the corner of the office – it’s quite hilarious.
Here’s the final dozen:
