CALENDAR Anyone who participated in last year’s 72-Hour Horror Film Competition hosted by Bijou Metro and the Eugene Film Society (EFS), in which amateur and professional fi lmmakers vied to create a winning three-minute scary movie in just three days, can attest to the heady thrill of writing, directing and editing a short movie on the fl y. On Thursday, Oct. 23, folks interested in all things cinematic are urged to attend this year’s EFS 72-Hour Horror Film Competition Kick-Off , a meet-and-greet where you can pitch a script, talk movies or perhaps be recruited to act in a spooky movie or splatter fl ick. Come on down and hobnob with local fi lm types (including EW’s Rick Levin, director of 2013 competition entry La Petite Mort, pictured) at the EFS kick-off party 5-8pm Thursday, Oct. 23, at Sam Bond’s Brewing Co., 540 E. 8th Ave., where competing fi lmmakers will be given their mandated line of dialogue and prop for their short horror fi lm.
