Troma Entertainment has a lot to celebrate this summer. Co-founded by legendary cult filmmaker Lloyd Kaufman (The Toxic Avenger, Tromeo and Juliet), the film production company that prides itself on independence will experience a trifecta of anniversaries: the 40th anniversary of Troma Entertainment, the 30th anniversary of The Toxic Avenger, and the 15th anniversary of TromaDance.
TromaDance, Troma’s own film festival that gives passionate independent filmmakers a platform on which to showcase their hard work in front of equally passionate fans, will take place in Brooklyn on June 27th and 28th at The Paper Box. This will be the first time TromaDance has crashed New York City. Although it's in a new location, Brooklyn still isn’t too far from New Jersey, where Troma's mop-wielding super-hero, The Toxic Avenger, dealt his own brand of justice.
“Held at the Paperbox NYC in Brooklyn on the 27th and 28th of June, we are expecting this year to be our most successful and tro-mazing year yet!
Unlike every other film festival, TromaDance does not charge filmmakers to submit their films or fans to attend events; entry to all screenings and panels are free of charge and completely open to the public. Everyone at TromaDance is treated as an equal. If there are any VIPs at TromaDance, they are the filmmakers whose blood, sweat, and passion are on the screen. TromaDance is proud to be the first and only film festival of the people, for the people, and by the people."
If you’re one of the millions of people influenced by Troma films over the past four decades and you live in the New York City area, be sure to join in the TromaDance fun in late June to help celebrate Troma Entertainment, The Toxic Avenger, and independent filmmaking in general.
