LOS ANGELES - Californer -- DREAD, L.A.-based distribution and financing company Epic Pictures' specialty horror label, will be releasing their horror title, MY FIRST HORROR FILM, in North America next month. During the film's festival run, the title garnered awards from Stockholm City Film Festival, Underground Indie Film Festival, Diabolical Horror Film Festival and the Los Angeles Crime and Horror Film Festival. The feature will have a special LA screening August 9, 2024, followed by a VOD release on August 13, 2024. My First Horror Film was written and directed by Shihan Van Clief and stars Georgina Navarro (Fade), Chauntice Green (9-1-1: Lone Star), Justyn Franco (The Nexus), Stephan O'Shea, Joy Marie Thomas (Ballers), Miles Crawford (Euphoria).
What happens when reality becomes all too real? My First Horror Film follows an aspiring influencer, still navigating her path to success, chronicles her pursuit of landing a role in her debut horror film. However, her dreams turn into a nightmare when a real-life killer starts targeting her fellow cast mates. As the crew finds themselves thrust into a deadly reality mirroring the script they were hired for, they must band together to outwit the murderer and survive the harrowing ordeal they once thought was mere fiction.

When discussing the feature, writer/director Shihan Van Clief says, "As a first-time filmmaker, I wanted My First Horror Film to be a thrilling story that also leaves the audience feeling good. I know this sounds completely out of character for the horror genre, but I think we were successful at this. This project was a total collaborative effort and I'm grateful for the team I had, as well as the incredible cast and distributor. Make sure you stay for the end credits because we have something special waiting there. We can't wait for you to experience it."
Epic Pictures and Dread's VP of US Distribution and Creative Yulissa Morales says, "We are thrilled to bring the Dread audience Shihan Van Clief's directorial debut. He and his team have put a great film together and we are excited to see what he will do next."
