TromaDance screens films from all around the world and represents the best in independent cinema. The 13th edition will be held in historic Asbury Park, New Jersey on May 4th and 5th at Asbury Lanes. In the past, TromaDance has presented the North American premiere of The Human Centipede, as well as The Taint, and Kidnapped, among others. The festival also hosts discussion panels with independent film makers that share their wisdom and secrets to success with the audience. Past guests include Oscar Nominated Actress Karen Black, Jenna Fischer, Ghost Rider Producer Steven Paul, Adam Rifkin, House of the Devil Producer Larry Fessenden, IFTA CEO Jean Pruitt, and Oscar Nominated animator Bill Plympton.

Founded in 1999 by Lloyd Kaufman (President of Troma Entertainment and Creator of The Toxic Avenger) and inspired by Trey Parker (SouthPark), whose first film “Cannibal:The Musical!” was a Troma release. TromaDance enjoyed ten successful years in Park City, Utah. In 2010,TromaDance was brought back home to New Jersey, home of Tromaville and The Toxic Avenger. The response TromaDance received from the people of Asbury Park and the media was overwhelmingly positive.
