I'm trying to find some festivals that would be suitable for my movie. It's basically a schlock-fest. Blood, guts, crass humor, T&A, etc. Does anyone know of some good festivals for this type of material? I've already submitted to Sick Puppy, Shock-O-Rama-A-Go-Go and Cinekink. Any suggestions for others? Thanks.

They are the fastest growing area of film festivals and it's about time. These are film festivals that seek to show B movies, sci-fi, fantasy and horror films made by indie filmmakers. Here's a short list of sites for these fests, but I swear, I find out about a new one every week. Good luck! I hope these help.

RI International Horror Film Festival - no site, but the fest takes place October 23-26 in Providence, RI as part of the RI International Film Festival

If anyone knows of any more, please post them here. I'm doing research for the 3rd edition of my book "The Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide" and I want to include a whole section on genre film fests.
