***** Adjustments made to the festival, Due to covid restrictions in Canada and anticipated recovery timeline we have moved our LIVE audience festival to JUNE 11th 2021.

We have now extended the discounted/regular entry fee and removed any additional fees from TODAY until APRIL 2021. That's a current 25% off entry fees all the way until last call in April 11th.

(Please check back in March 2021 for announcements and update to our plan A for the LIVE screening as well as an online streaming alternative AKA "Plan B" in case of possible restrictions related to COVID 19 that might prevent live any screenings in June 2001 around Vancouver BC Canada.)

    Very kindly gave me a waiver as I was flat broke at the time. Unfortunately, it was a bit far for me to travel to, so I could not attend and cannot attest to networking, but SELECTED status was nice for a waiver, last minute entry. Yes, I would most certainly recommend this to others and look forward to making future entries.

    It was an honor to have my script selected as a finalist for the festival. Like many of us, it is unfortunate to not be able to attend a great festival. Thank you all at Badass for your hard work. Blessings and be safe.

    We are planning a small local gathering with small award gala and a few screenings for BA6 once life gets back to normal to celebrate the BA6 award winners.

    Was not able to attend the festival due to Covid which was a real shame but David and his team always kept me informed about everything and were very communicative. I appreciate the 4 selections and 1 finalist nod.
