Behind You was a film festival winner at the Carnival of Darkness last week. It won the best film award, also known as the Thrill Ride Award! And the competition included a Guillermo Del Toro (Hell Boy, Pan’s Labyrinth) executive produced short.

Written, Produced, and Directed by Benjamin Freiburger, Starring Susie Bracken with Cinematography by Matthew Skala, the film is a story of a woman hunted by a ghost she can only see in reflections.

Thank you Alex Bram for annually organizing and hosting this genre festival. It was great to see the best sci-fi and horror shorts of 2012–all in one sitting–alongside a panel with Veronica Cartwright (Alien, Invasion of the Body Snatchers), Tara Cardinal (Legend of the Red Reaper), and Drew Daywalt (web series Camera Obscura).
