Haunted House FearFest® Film & Video Game Festival

Haunted House FearFest® is an independent, digital-first horror film and video game festival that connects emerging creators with audiences through curated programming, virtual experiences, strategic partnerships, and digital platforms.

As Owner & Festival Director, I lead the festival’s strategy, business development, partnerships, marketing, programming, creator relations, audience growth, and digital expansion.

Building the Festival

Since taking ownership, I’ve expanded Haunted House FearFest® beyond a traditional film festival into a year-round creator and entertainment ecosystem spanning independent film, gaming, podcasting, livestreams, virtual events, creator interviews, and digital community experiences.

I develop relationships across filmmakers, game developers, media organizations, technology platforms, educational institutions, sponsors, and industry partners to create new opportunities for creator discovery, audience engagement, and festival growth.

Emerging Technology & Digital Experiences

I also evaluate and implement AI-enabled workflows, automation, creator tools, and emerging technologies across festival operations, marketing, content development, and digital audience experiences.

The goal is not technology for technology’s sake — it’s using new tools and platforms to make the festival more efficient, immersive, accessible, and valuable for independent creators and audiences.
