Gosh, where does the time go? Festival season in Toronto is kicking into high gear earlier this year as the fine folks over at TADFF bumped up their festival to August! Thus the deadline for film entries has come upon us quicker than expected. Read on minions!

A quick announcement for any horror, sci-fi, action, animation or cult filmmakers out there. This is the final week to submit your short or feature film to the 2009 Toronto After Dark Film Festival, proudly sponsored by Twitch. If you’re looking to gain added exposure for your genre film it could be well worth your while taking the few minutes to enter. While this is only the fourth annual edition of the fest, Toronto After Dark has already established itself as one of North America’s leading genre cinema showcases. Over 8,500 fans came out for last year’s record-breaking Toronto event. All the films programmed including LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, REPO: THE GENETIC OPERA, TOKYO GORE POLICE and I SELL THE DEAD scored extensive media coverage. This year’s Toronto After Dark brings its cinematic mayhem for the first time to Summer and runs Aug 14-21, 2009. But if you want to enter, you’ll have to hurry. To be considered, your film entry details must be completed online by end of day, this Friday May 15. Full details, including a fast and easy to complete online submission form, are available at the official festival website
