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 2000 as an alternative to the major studio garbage-fest of Sundance in Park City, Utah.

“I’m sick of this paternalistic attitude held by the New Mexico Film Board that local talent needs to be ‘nurtured’ and helped along like some sort of infant. We have the know-how and we have the talent, and this film festival is going to prove it.” Says Kurly Tlapoyawa, owner of Burning Paradise Video.
