WE HOPE TO DISCOVER THE CULT MOVIES
OF THE FUTURE...

OVERHEARD DURING INTERMISSIONS
“I didn’t know low budget films could be so cool!”
“Being in a smaller theater like this…watching a movie…it’s like the audience experience is so much more…interactive.”
“I've always loved arthouse and hard to find movies, Zed Fest shows lots of those kind of movies"
“This festival …it’s like the only place that will show movies like these.”
“After seeing these films at Zed Fest , makes me want to go pick up a camera and make my own damn movie.”
“That guy in there…[indicating one of the filmmakers in the lobby]…is too weird for words. I gotta go back in and talk to him.”
“It’s kind of cool, that one movie was filmed at a bar by here that I go to.”
“I heard that one of the feature films was made for only two hundred dollars! Like what other film festival would show something like that?”
“I think attending these micro budget indie flicks at indie fests like [Zed Fest] will probably be trending soon.”
“What’s their deal with ROBOT MONSTER?!”
“Zed Fest is the place for artistic films and filmmakers to be seen"
“Well you go to a film festival like this one to see stuff that you wouldn't see anywhere else, like that MAD RON'S Prevues movie…, Caesar and Otto's Movies, or what was it called…ZOMBLEACH…priceless!”
