Landpartie A Day in The Country(Austria)Horror Shorts NOON
WINNER PEOPLES CHOICE AWARD FOR BEST FILM
HONORABLE MENTION (VISUAL EFFECTS)
Director Lucas Vossoughi
In the crowed genre of zombie horror shorts brilliance using innovation was the last thing we were expecting to find, but Director Lucas Vossoughi has not only transcended the genre, he has created a short work that could revolutionize horror filmmaking. By taking the first person narrative of video games and applying it to film he has created a singularly thrilling zombie experience. Not to be missed.

A strange death, two detectives, and a mysterious young girl are the elements in Director Phillip Jordan Brooks beautifully filmed short that manages to make the viewer honestly spooked, and that's all you can ask from a horror film.

Director Jonathan Vender
