United States · Multiple structural red flags — exercise caution before submitting
Gravedigger Dave's Anthology Festival is a U.S. genre-film event centered on shorts that are assembled into a feature-length anthology film. It is notable for showcasing horror, sci-fi, supernatural thriller, true crime, docu-horror, and other unusual genre films, with the finished anthology premiered in Duluth, Minnesota and then released online for free. The festival’s significance lies in its anthology format and its niche role in the horror and genre festival circuit, giving short filmmakers a chance to be part of a collective feature release.
