The Backseat Film Festival is an independent filmfestival organized by Doug Sakmann, Nick Esposito, and Zafer Ulkucu.[1]
Beginning in Park City, Utah, during the winter of 2003 as one of many alternatives to the Sundance Film Festival it quickly transformed into a touring festival that continues to the present day.[2]
During the summer of 2003 the festival joined forces with the Vans Warped Tour and its screening bus, the Dirty Erin, traveled through 44 cities across North America playing films for tens of thousands of young people. Doug Sakmann, former Festival Director for the Troma Films' TromadanceFilm Festival, filmed a slasher film series Punk Rock Holocaust during this tour which garnered international press attention for the festival.[3][4]
Backseat is currently based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The touring festival travels across the U.S. each year screening films for those interested in edgy, alternative indy films. It has also showcased its film lineup at the Cannes Film Festival.
