BREATHE IN. BREATHE OUT. RUN.
Experience a film "on the cutting edge of what's happening in genre filmmaking right now" -- Matthew Jacobs, freelance reviewer (HuffPost, Vulture, Vanity Fair, GQ, Hollywood Reporter, Thrillist)
In TREADMILL, the viewer inhabits the body of our protagonist Morgan, a member of a small team of indie programmers forced to test the prototype for a revolutionary wellness app on themselves. When a bug in the program entraps them in a hellish augmented reality, we witness through Morgan's eyes as she and the team must navigate a labyrinth woven through the darkest corners of their minds, questioning their every sense as well as their sanity as they race to reach the server room and sever the program's brain before they become lost forever...

This year we are offering two tiers for you to enjoy Panic Fest. The Hybrid option gets you access to everything online plus the option to attend all films and most special events in person. Select special events will have a holder discount if a separate ticket is required. 

The Virtual Pass is just that, virtual. You will have access to our virtual library throughout the duration of the festival.  You will still need to claim your tickets to each event or movie. Some events have limited capacity. Badges do not guarantee entry. Individual tickets required. 

In-person viewings are limited and are on a first-come basis. Please visit "Attending Panic Fest" for details on how we are handling our in-person screenings. 

No refunds. No exchanges. No resale.

These are all the passes tied to your account. Now, use our online schedule to reserve tickets. You can access your tickets via {{my_tickets_link|"My Tickets"}} or via the PDFs attached to each ticket order confirmation email. {{buy_pass_link|Looking to buy more passes?}}
