FilmQuest Launches Inaugural Genre Film Market Called Marche du Cthulhu
The Utah-based genre festival FilmQuest is introducing a new specialized industry marketplace named the Marche du Cthulhu, inspired by the cosmic horror entity created by H.P. Lovecraft. Running both in-person and virtually alongside the main festival events, the platform aims to bridge the gap between emerging filmmakers and commercial buyers by handpicking high-potential features that did not fit into the official competition slate. Organizers established this curated venue to address the massive volume of submissions received annually, providing a streamlined alternative to traditional, overcrowded markets. By focusing strictly on commercially viable titles with proven audience appeal, the initiative seeks to foster quicker acquisitions and offer industry professionals a direct route to fresh independent talent across horror, sci-fi, and thriller genres.
