George A. Romero Fellowship
In 2021, the Romero Fellowship mentorship program was designed in partnership with the George A. Romero Foundation to empower emerging filmmakers with the skills, connections, and inspiration to advance their careers and goals in telling authentic, innovative and terrifying stories that offer catharsis for an audience on edge.
For Salem Horror Fest 8, we are pleased to announce the return of our mentoring filmmakers: Travis Stevens (A Wounded Fawn), Jenn Wexler (The Sacrifice Game), and Matt Leslie (Summer of 84). These filmmakers will be conducting in-person and online sessions with the directors of one Official Selection Feature and two Official Selection Shorts.
We are pleased to announce the 2025 Romero Fellowship winners:
Christopher Bickel • Pater Noster and the Mission of Light
Senda Bonnet • Turn It Off
Sophie Whipple • The Night Side
