Fly Over
Director Max Ward - United Kingdom - 16 min. horror comedy
As Tom seeks refuge at his Grandma’s house during a seemingly cheerful Christmas gathering, an unsettling silence hangs over the small town.
Missing persons, power cuts, and strange movements in the woods hint that something unnatural is drawing closer. When a terrifying presence breaches the safety of Grandma’s home, Tom must confront forces far darker than his own guilt. 
Cookies for Christmas
Director Adam Raynes - USA - 12 min. horror
Lacey returns home for Christmas to rethink her big-city life, but holiday plans unravel when an escaped killer crashes the season.
The Christmas Hitlist
Director Jonathan Andrew Nettleton - USA - 17 min. horror comedy
When Christmas runs over budget, Santa gets orders from the North Pole’s Godfather to cut costs—by cutting down believers. What follows is a twisted holiday bloodbath filled with elves, ornaments, and offbeat murders in this cheerfully deranged dark comedy.
