Tammi Sutton (Director, Isle of Dogs), who, along with Allison Anders and Stephanie Rothman, is one of the very few gyno-American directors of horror films, will join the line-up of distinguished guests who will speak at the 14th annual Tromadance press conference scheduled to take place at the 2012 American Film Market in the AFM Studio (Behind the Ocean and Vine Restaurant) at the Loew’s Hotel in Santa Monica at 11am on November 2nd, it was announced today by Tromadance founder Lloyd Kaufman.
Sutton will speak alongside Mark Neveldine (Co-Director, Ghostrider: Spirit of Vengeance, Gamer, Crank series) and Paul Hertzberg (CEO of CineTel Films, Chairman of the Independent Film and Television Alliance). The panel will also be M.C.’d by beloved American icon, Ron Jeremy. “I would like thank our distinguished panel,” said Kaufman. “You have pierced the hymen of the mainstream and are generously helping artists whose films are presented at the TromaDance Film Festival to do the same.”
Founded in 1999 by Lloyd Kaufman (President of Troma Entertainment and Creator of The Toxic Avenger) and inspired by Trey Parker (South Park), whose first film Cannibal: The Musical! was a Troma release, TromaDance enjoyed ten successful years in Park City, Utah. In 2010, a larger TromaDance came home to New Jersey, home of Tromaville and The Toxic Avenger. The response TromaDance received from the people of Asbury Park and the media was overwhelmingly positive. Unlike mainstream festivals, TromaDance does not charge film makers to submit their films and entrance to all screenings is free and open to the public. 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!
