Tromadance was crazy. There was this total indie DIY punk rock vibe to everything, and considering the company involved, it just worked. I really liked that it was in a converted bowling alley, actually. They had a stage set up in the middle of the lanes, with a ton of chairs just sitting in front. In the pictures below you can see rows of bowling balls, as well as lanes on either side of the stage. Read more…

Former Fangoria editor Tony Timpone, Street Trash writer/producer Roy Frumkes and Queens World Film Festival co-director Katha Cato will join James Gunn and Ti West on the panel at the 13th Annual TromaDance Film Festival, the only truly independent film festival that is completely FREE! The panel will be moderated by Lloyd Kaufman.
Two feature films have been selected to screen – the first, The FP, tells the story of two gangs locked in a turf war in rural wasteland Frasier Park, in the deadly arena of competitive dance-fight video game Beat-Beat Revolution. The FP is a fury of fierce footwork, triumphant montages and neon street wear. Also screening is Manborg, in which a soldier, brought back to life as a cyborg, fights alongside a band of adventurers against demon hordes in a dystopian future. These will screen along with thirty-six films already announced.

All TromaDance screenings are free and with the festival’s “No VIP Policy”, celebrities and fans are treated equally. Unlike mainstream, elitist festivals like Cannes and Sundance, TromaDance does not charge film makers anything to submit their films. As is the tradition, part of the TromaDance 2012 budget is funded by fans. This year the festival is being partially crowd-funded through Kickstarter, and the campaign has raised over $5000.
