Partnering With The B Movie Celebration/ The Indy Film Co-op

New Expanded Version of the Tromadance Film Festival

Tromadance Founder Lloyd Kaufman and The B Movie Celebration announced
the creation of a new expanded summer version of the Tromadance Film
Festival in Franklin, Indiana, at this year’s American Film Market
last November.
This announcement included details on the transformation of the
Tromadance Film Festival into a fully immersive film experience that
now includes a larger screening schedule as well as more panel
discussions and in-depth workshops covering a variety of topics
pertinent to young filmmakers.
Summer TromaDance takes place during the B Movie Celebration September
26th-28th in Franklin Indiana.

About TromaDance
TromaDance is the first film festival wholeheartedly devoted to
filmmakers and fans. Unlike every other film festival, TromaDance does
not charge filmmakers to submit their films. Entrance to all
screenings is free and open to the public. Also, there are no VIP
reservations or preferential treatment regarding films, panels, or
parties of any kind given. The organizers of TromaDance believe films
are meant to be seen, especially when it comes to new filmmakers. Art
— in all its forms — is for the people!

TromaDance features a range of films made independently, usually
without big stars, big money and far removed from the Hollywood studio
system. The official selections of TromaDance have been made with
nothing more than passion, courage, integrity, and raw talent.

For The People and By The People
Everyone at TromaDance is treated as an equal. The elite and the
celebrated are treated no better or worse than the experimental
filmmaker or the random moviegoer off the street. Admittance to all
screenings, panels, parties, and events is strictly on a first come,
first served basis. If there are any VIPs at TromaDance, they are the
filmmakers whose blood, sweat, and hard work are on the screen.
TromaDance is an opportunity for everyone who’s ever picked up a
camera to have their work seen without the compromises required by
elitist cartel interference. TromaDance is proud to be the first and
only film festival of the people, for the people, and by the people.
