About the festival

Mission Statement:

While almost every film festival celebrates cinematic achievement, this festival stands to honor talented filmmakers who may have screwed up. We all have made bad films, even the greats! The old adage about learning more from loss than victory is true; We learn more from our bad films and here we believe that your efforts should count for something more than a hard lesson learned. You put in the time, the effort, the blood, sweat, and tears, and you deserve something for that!

Once a year we want to step back and remember to laugh at ourselves, and to encourage each other by showing our support for everyone's piece of poop movie. Consider this festival the closure to your bad project as you set out to make a really great one.

You can purchase tickets to the event including the Awards ceremony and Roast of the filmmakers at our website: Whoopsfilmfestival.com
