For Immediate Release:
TromaDance New Mexico, New Mexico’s Premiere Independent Film Festival, Is Now Accepting Submissions!
Burning Paradise Video, Albuquerque’s ONLY cult/alternative/trash video store, has once again teamed up with Troma Entertainment for “Burning Paradise Presents: TromaDance New Mexico!” The three day event is New Mexico’s premiere independent film festival and is scheduled for September 22-24 at the Guild Cinema in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Legendary filmmaker and cult film icon Lloyd Kaufman, President of Troma and the creator of the Toxic Avenger will attend the festivities. Films may be of any length, cover any subject matter, and can be shot on any format. Submission forms and guidelines may be found at BurningParadise.net, or for more information call 505-244-1161.
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 an alternative to the major studio garbage-fest of Sundance in Park City, Utah.
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. “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 has proven that.” Says Kurly Tlapoyawa, owner of Burning Paradise Video.
