NYC’s BAD FILM FEST
“Not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good.”

>> Now Taking Submissions of Short Films <<

We’re looking for weird, wild, ridiculous and outrageous projects. We love any genre of low-budget or no-budget films. If you shot it and you’re proud of it, we’re interested.

INVERTED SUBMISSION FEE POLICY
From past festivals, we noticed it was easier to get accepted the earlier you submitted (when it was cheaper), yet as the submission period progressed the fees would increase though your chance of getting accepted decreased. That was the festival standard and it felt unfair.

Since we preview films as they come in, we’ve decided to reverse our submission fee policy.
• Submit early/higher fee – Greater chance you get accepted
• Submit late/cheap – Lesser chance you get accepted
