Media Meltdown

Last call for tickets to the SF Underground Short Film Festival! We're on our last handful and will almost certainly fully sell out today. If you've been wanting to attend but haven't acted yet, now's your last chance to catch an epic evening of punk rock films! Can't say we didn't warn you!

Plus we’re excited to announce we’ll have a limited number of exclusive Movie Madhouse zines detailing the films we’ve show in the last year, featuring all the pin art, review from audience members, & a custom Movie Madhouse Mixtape! These will all be first come first served so don’t miss out!

Only 2 days to the film fest! It’s a tradition for Movie Madhouse to give out pins to attendees featuring art from our audience members & we’re so thrilled to keep that going with SFUSFF! We’ve got two designs, "cameratran” art from @raebiezvaccine and a “kaiju” design from @melware.graphics!

If that's what simple looks like, please give us more! Picture by the ever amazing Nicole Fraser-Herron!
