Celebrate all things horror at the Overlook Film Festival in New Orleans, LA! Jeffrey Ikahn, American filmmaker and indie director, features the thrilling 4-day film festival set to scare your socks off!

Voodoo legends, vampire curses and countless apparition sightings… the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana has a sense of mystique and horror embedded within the city streets. If you ask American filmmaker and indie grassroots director Jeffrey Ikahn, New Orleans is the perfect backdrop for an innovative and provocative film festival focused on the horror and thriller film genres.
Focused on providing attendees with a truly experiential event, Overlook Film Festival is more than just an opportunity to watch early screenings of future blockbuster films. Overlook invites filmmakers, visionaries and film fans alike to America’s most haunted city for an immersive cinematic experience like no other. Taking place across four days, the Festival is more of a celebration than an event, if you ask a creative visionary like Jeffrey Ikahn. Billed as one of MovieMaker Magazine’s Best Genre Festivals in the World, Overlook has made a name for itself since its virtually collaborative launch, NightStream, during the wake of the pandemic era.
Jeffrey Ikahn looks forward to catching a glimpse of the latest innovation and visionary creations in horror films at the Overlook Film Festival, April 3-6, 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Past guests to the immersive event include Nicolas Cage, Jim Jarmusch, John Goodman, Mike Flanagan and many more big names in the industry; including leading luminaries from Sundance Film Festival, SpectreVision, Toronto International Film Festival, Shudder, Blumhouse Productions, CAA, Neon, 30 West, XYZ Films and many, many more — like Ikahn, himself!
