    Slimefest is awesome! A great Colorado film festival every indie filmmaker should aspire to be a part of!

    What a great festival!

    Others try to showcase very high-minded material, but founder Thomas Eliot does not, and I mean that in the best possible way. Sometimes you just need something that has no higher aspirations other than to make you gasp at the bodily fluids being sprayed across the screen.

    I'm honored that my horror-comedy "Weirdos" was selected for the 2025 edition, and I already have an idea for the 2026 edition!

    We love the concept behind this festival. Unfortunately, we weren't able to attend, but we were delighted to have our animated short Nostril included in SlimeFest. Great communication with the organizer.
