http://www.burningparadise.net/TDance2006.pdfThis year, the Festival will feature 7 feature-length films and 45 shorts.
The festival is multi-genre, covering horror, comedy, queer, experimental, documentaries and animation. This festival is NOT for children! Of particular note is the special sneak preview screening of POULTRYGEIST, the latest film from Troma founder Lloyd Kaufman. Also featured will be “Lollilove,” a mockumentary from Jenna Fischer, star of NBC’s hit series “The Office” as well as the horror comedy “Easter Bunny Kill, Kill” from Troma alumni Trent Haaga.
Troma Entertainment is the nation’s oldest independent film studio, and responsible for cult classics such as The Toxic Avenger, Cannibal The Musical, and The Class Of Nuke ‘Em High! Troma Entertainment founded TromaDance in the year 2000 as a truly independent alternative to the Sundance film festival held in Park City, Utah. Three years ago, Lloyd Kaufman teamed up with Kurly Tlapoyawa from Burning Paradise to bring this festival to Albuquerque.
During his career, Lloyd Kaufman has worked on such classics as Rocky and Saturday Night Fever. During its 30 years of renegade film making, Troma films have featured actors such as Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Dinero, and Kevin Costner! Film making icons such as Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill), Peter Jackson (Brain Dead, Lord of the Rings Trilogy) and Takeshi Miike (Ichi the Killer) have all cited Lloyd Kaufman as being a major influence on their work. We are truly honored to have developed a strong working relationship with Lloyd Kaufman and Troma Entertainment, as they represent the truest form if independent art!
Burning Paradise Presents: TromaDance New Mexico! gives voice to truly independent LOCAL filmmakers who do not desire to jump on the Hollywood film production bandwagon which is taking place in New Mexico. “We have the know-how and we have the talent to produce incredible films on our own, and this film festival has proven that.” Says Kurly Tlapoyawa, President of Burning Paradise Video.
