This festival asks not for the cinematic masterpiece. Nor will this festival ask; ’How Did This Get Made’- because the answer is universally obvious. It’s hard to make 2001: A Space Odyssey with a $300 budget!

We’re looking to highlight the film you made as a 12 or 20-year-old that you thought would never see the light of a projection screen. It will be a tribute to humble origins and how WE LOVE MAKING MOVIES.

Screening:

We’ll watch, we’ll laugh, and we’ll ask some inspired Qs if the filmmakers feel inclined to share their filmmaking As with an excited new group of fans.

Post-screenings, attendees will vote for the Best Worst Film of the bunch. The grand prize, valued at $250, awaits the film that brings the most laughter, tears, and fundraising moneys!

Additional Event Offerings:

Garage Sale and Refreshments:

Shop for hidden treasures and funky finds from clothing and knick-knacks to furniture and home decor.
Indulge in mouthwatering treats at our bake sale, and quench your thirst with a refreshing boozy lemonade or enjoy a veggie corn dog, fresh off the grill.

That’s not enough fun you say??

- Take unusual/absurd/offputting pics in the photo booth with wacky Extended Warranty-inspired props. Or just take cute pics like normal people.

Post-screenings, attendees will vote for the Best Worst Film of the bunch. The grand prize, valued at $250, awaits the film that brings the most laughter, tears, and fundraising money!

If you have any: adolescent original musicals, sci/fi featuring a refrigerator box spaceship, or anything that could be an extended-cut scene from The Room- that is what this festival is begging for.

Please submit your best worst short film or clips from your early cinematic bomb.
We will be showcasing projects that are up to 10 minutes in length. This means that either your film is 10 minutes or under, or you can submit a scene from a longer piece that is 10 minutes or under.

Films can be made any year- and be any genre.

**Filmmakers do not have to be local to LA but one cast or crew member must be able to attend the screening in person and participate in the Q&A.**
