Sick ’n’ Wrong will return for another live festival in 2021, but in the meantime, check out the SICK ’N’ WRONG 72-HOUR FILM DEBACLE! The Debacle is a three-day film challenge taking place virtually, so filmmakers from all over the world are welcome to participate! Registration is open through November 26, and the shoot dates will be December 3–6. Find out all the details and sign up at sicknwrongfilm.com, or visit our social media for pictures of the prizes.
***THANK YOU***
Sick ’n’ Wrong is a delirious celebration of cinematic weirdness. Steaming gouts of body fluids, pitch-black gallows humor, and skin-crawling awkwardness are all trademarks of SnW movies. SnW isn’t a genre, though; any movie that disturbs the audience on an existential level is welcome. Shorts, features, docs, animations, music videos—anything goes, so long as the viewer walks away thinking, “What the f#@k did I just watch?!”
Sick ’n’ Wrong takes place in Orlando, Florida, so guests can enjoy their fill of wholesome, family-friendly fun at the theme parks—and then burn all that goodness out of their souls with the unrepentant depravity of SnW. The festival includes opening- and closing-night parties where weirdo creators and weirdo appreciators can share their love of cult cinema while the adult beverages flow. (There’s also a super-secret filmmakers-only brunch, but don’t tell anyone!)
If you’re a filmmaker whose work makes the traditional festivals cringe or shake their heads in confusion, Sick ’n’ Wrong is probably your true home.
Winning filmmakers will receive custom sculpted “Sickie” statuettes. Sickies are given in 12 categories, including:
Sickest — for the most nauseating visuals
Wrongest — for the most morally aberrant story content
Audience Favorite — voted on by festival attendees
as well as Sickie categories specifically for animation and screenplays.
