Third is the word. Three sheets to the wind. Three’s a crowd. Queer as a three dollar bill. The three Rs’- reading, writing, and rock-n-roll. You’ve heard it all, but you haven’t seen it all. That’s where Scumdance comes in. Now in its third year, Reno, Nevada’s Scumdance film festival features some of the finest underground movies around.

"The festival was very fun and the organizers were welcoming. They were also quick to respond by email and were very personable. The judges gave thoughtful feedback to my work and I was lucky enough to win one of the awards. Overall I would highly recommend this festival to anyone who wanted to have a great time in a relaxed atmosphere watching weird and wonderful films." - M.G. Mathisen
"Beyond being thrilled that our film Black Cat won a top award at the festival, everything else about the experience was excellent. 5 stars all around and I hope the festival continues to gain notoriety - there need to be more like it." - Peter Pardini
