Due to popular demand, the film entry deadline for the 12th Annual TromaDance Film Festival has been extended to February 18th. The TromaDance Film Festival has a strict policy of no entry fee for films and FREE admission to all screenings! Tromadance will be held on April 22nd and 23rd in Asbury Park, NJ at the Showroom Theater. Following the TromaDanceFilm Festival will be the legendary closing party at Asbury Lanes.
The TromaDance Film Festival was conceived by Lloyd Kaufman and inspired by Cannibal the Musical and South Park co-creator Trey Parker. Deciding that the mainstream film festivals had become bloated and corrupt playgrounds for the Hollywood elite, The TromaDance Film Festival began in 2000 in Park City, Utah as "the conscience of the Sundance Film Festival."
TromaDance is the fiercely independent film festival that gives innovative up and coming filmmakers a chance for exposure like no other. These are film makers that create movies so unique that no major studio could ever hope to create them. Attending screenings and panels isn't about having an agent or big name connections. All panels and screenings are open to a first come first serve basis, no preferential treatment.
Funding for TromaDance comes entirely from donations. The festival relies on the generosity of those who believe in its cause. Donations can be submitted online via PayPal and tax-deductible donations of $100 or more can be submitted online via Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts services organization.
