Our House

Our short term goal is to produce quality short horror and science fiction films combining industry professionals and students interested in pursuing the craft. We plan to eventually produce feature length films in the same genres. We welcome your short scripts. Please email us for submission guidelines.

House of Gorey is committed to supporting youth mentoring programs. Sara Caldwell was one of the original founders of Tutor/Mentor Connection in Chicago in 1992 and continues to be involved from afar. She is still friends with a young man she began tutoring in 1988. We encourage others to learn more about this wonderful program:

Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC) (www.tutormentorconnection.org) collects information that any one in the world can use to:

• better understand the challenges of poverty
• build volunteer-based mentoring programs
• access an unlimited range of learning opportunities

The use of maps to focus volunteers and donors on tutor/mentor programs in all high poverty neighborhoods of Chicago is an idea T/MC shares with people in Africa, Asia, South America and every part of the United States.

Tutor/Mentor Connection operates it own Cabrini Connections program (www.cabriniconnections.net) in Chicago, where it applies many of the ideas found on its web site. One project, started in 1995, teaches teens to use video to tell the stories of poverty, and of what they do at Cabrini Connections, so that more people will become involved.
