(New York, NY)- It was announced by Tromadance director Jonathan Lees, that the Tromadance Film Festival (April 22-23, The Showroom Theater, Asbury Park, NJ) will feature guest panelists Michael Hein. Michael has done everything from special effects, directing, producing, acting and more. Michael has been a great proponent of independent and horror cinema in New York, started the production company Moodude Films, and is the founder of the New York City Horror Film Festival, and will be joining Tromadance panelists Bill Plympton (Oscar nominated animator), John Goras (director of Chirpy), Michael Gingold (Managing Editor of Fangoria Magazine), New York Film Commissioner Pat Kaufman, and Tromadance founder Lloyd Kaufman. The subject of the panel will be Selling Your Movie in the Age oft Digital Revolution. Now that the digital revolution has allowed all of us to make our own damn movies, how do we live off them in a media world controlled by giant conglomerates?
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 was created in 1999 by Troma President and Creator of the Toxic Avenger, Lloyd Kaufman, based on an idea from SouthPark creator Trey Parker.
