Mayhem was founded in 2004 by Nottingham-based film-makers Steven Sheil, Chris Cooke and Gareth Howell.The early Mayhem festivals focused around a shorts programme, showcasing terrifying new shorts from an international submissions call.
Following the success of 2007's Mayhem, which included a screening of 'All the Boys Love Mandy Lane', our shorts programme and a riotous Hallowe'en fancy dress party, Mayhem is back in 2008 with a 3 day programme of terror, talks and terrible costumes.
This year, we are pleased to be partnered by our host venue, Broadway Media Centre in Nottingham (voted into the top 10 cinemas in the world by Total Film Magazine), to make the festival bigger and better, and to establish Mayhem as one of the best fests on the Horror calendar!
