Formerly the ironically-titled "Bad Film Fest" (2012 - 2021)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

To be GREAT, you first have to be unafraid that you might be BAD.
We're looking for WEIRD, WILD, RIDICULOUS and OUTRAGEOUS films.
We love #LowBudget and #NoBudget.

Short Film Ratings:
PG, PG-13 or G

We are only accepting short films at this time. Follow this page to find out when we hold a separate event for feature films.

INVERTED SUBMISSION FEES
From past festivals, we noticed it was easier to get accepted the earlier you submitted (when it was cheaper), yet as the submission period progressed the fees would increase though your chance of getting accepted decreased. This feels very unfair.

Since we preview films as they come in, we've decided to reverse our submission fee policy.
• Submit early/higher fee - Greater chance you get accepted
• Submit late/cheap - Lesser chance you get accepted

- Audience Award
- more T.B.D.
