It was announced today by Tromadance Program Director Jonathan Lees that the feature film selections for the Tromadance Film Fesitval (April 22-23 in Asbury Park, NJ) will be Drew Bolduc and Dan Nelson’s The Taint, Joshua Grannell’s All About Evil, and the East Coast premiere of Miguel Angel Vivas’ Kidnapped.

Also, TromaDance will host a special block of NEW shorts from Academy Award-nominated animator Bill Plympton, who will present “Guard Dog Global Jam”, “The Cow Who Wanted to Be a Hamburger”, and “The Flying House”. These films represent the eclectic mix of innovation and independence which makes Tromadance a truly visionary festival. You can learn more about the features and shorts at TromaDance.com.

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 “South Park” creator Trey Parker.

Here’s a bit more info on the three feature films:

* All About Evil directed by Joshua Grannell
The evil begins when Deborah, a mousy librarian, inherits her father’s beloved but failing old movie house, the Victoria. In order to save the family business, she discovers her inner serial killer– and starts turning out a series of grisly short films.
Visit the official All About Evil website.

* The Taint directed by Drew Bolduc and Dan Nelson
When society is transformed into a land of sadistic violence and horrible brutality, it is up to Phil O’Ginny and his female friend, Misandra, to combat the horrible evil that is THE TAINT.
Visit the official The Taint website.

* Kidnapped (Secuestrados) directed by Miguel Angel Vivas
Jaime, Marta, and their daughter, Isa, have just moved into a luxurious new house. Marta begins to prepare the dinner and puts a bottle of champagne on ice to celebrate the move. As night falls, three hooded men violently force their way into the house. Panic ensues, and soon the real violence will begin.
