Guillermo del Toro Invites Users to Make a Short-Film

UNITED STATES.-Mexican director, Guillermo del Toro, known for his diverse work ranging from science fiction, drama, and terror, has united forces with Youtube and entertainment company Legendary to invite those interested in film direction and the production of short films the opportunity to compete in a contest to mark the upcoming Halloween celebrations.



Via a video posted on Legendary's channel, Del Toro announces the "House of Horrors: A Legendary Halloween" competition which he will be involved with once the top contenders are selected, to develop them into projects if they pass the first task: to scare him.

The Mexican director will advise Youtube users that develop the most interesting proposals and will choose the winner who will go on to receive a contract from Legendary.



Youtube will offer not only a virtual place to publish submissions, but also physical spaces inspired by scenes in Del Toro's films. These sets will set up throughout the world starting September 22nd, although the closest to this region would be located in Los Angeles.

Videos will start being shared on October 21 and the deadline to submit is October 27th, and now is your chance to direct a short film and possibly join the big leagues in the terror genre.
