Schitt’s Creek and The Rig star Emily Hampshire will be hosting the World Premiere of MOM, alongside the film’s director Adam O’Brien. Emily not only stars in the film but is also Executive Producer.

We will also have mega-genre talent Lauren LaVera, in the house. The star of Terrifier 2 and the forthcoming Terrifier 3, will present her latest terrifying movie, THE WELL, alongside Italian director Federico Zampaglione.

Abigail Hardingham will also be joining us. The star of The Missing and Nina Forever is here for the World premiere of CUSTOM, a passion project, which she stars in and co-produces. The film’s director, Tiago Teixeirin, making his impactful feature film debut, will also be attending, as will the film’s co-star Samantha Steel.

Also making their feature film debut with KILL YOUR LOVER are the dynamic filmmaker duo Alix Austin and Keir Siewert. They will be in Glasgow, alongside key cast, Paige Gilmour and Fair City’s Shane Quigley-Murphy.

The monster may be invisible but the talent behind THE INVISIBLE RAPTOR are not. Joining us are writer, lead actor and producer Mike Capes and actor David Shackleford.

The genre is currently blessed with emerging new auteurs and we are thrilled to welcome two talented directors into the fold - Paul Duane, director of ALL YOU NEED IS DEATH and Alan Scott Neal, director of LAST STRAW.

Please note that all films contain graphic scenes of strong violence and sustained threat.
