The 2nd Annual Tacoma Tortured Artists Film Festival I would like to take a moment to give you some infromation on the 2nd annual Tacoma Tortured Artists Film Festival. We conceived the idea of starting a festival for the purpose of showcasing talented film & video makers whose ideas and skill transcend budget. Our festival is unique in that we screen every entry received, not just the selected Winners and Honorable Mentions. Submissions which are not selected as Winners or Honorable Mentions are screened on monitors throughout our Second Best reception to kick off the festival. For the Winners and Honorable Mentions screenings we have the two most oppulent and historic theatres in Tacoma. The success of last year's Tortured Artists Fest was unqualified; we had film and video makers here from all over the country, and 4 of the 9 winning films were student production! Winners from our festival went on to play at the Sundance, New Orleans, and New York Underground film festivals. I have maintained corespondence with several of the students who submitted work for last year's festival, and I have been pleased to see them go on to work for porduction by MTV, the SUNDANCE Channel, and NICHK|EKODEON. Every major publication in our region covers the festival, and this year we have picked up Filmmaker magazine as a national sponsor.
