Shawna Shea Film Festival (SSFF) is a fringe independent international film festival. We love quirky and experimental films as much as we love straight narratives.

Our philosophy is best explained in the 2005 version of Amos Vogel's book "Film as a Subversive Art." In it he writes explaining the importance of independent cinema and festivals, "Not those fake 'independent' films whose makers only aspire to become the next Hollywood stars, but those true iconoclasts and independent features, avant-garde or documentary filmmakers-who even under today's bleak circumstances audaciously continue to 'transgress' (i.e. subvert) narrative modes, themes, structures, and the visual/aural conventions of mainstream cinema."

Inbetweening by Mel House

Eric Linson is a struggling multiracial filmmaker with a few credits to his name and absolutely nothing to show for it. Inbetweening follows his journey trying to remain afloat and healthy in the liminal space between projects...while the voices in his head steadily become louder. Some are helpful, but most aren't...especially the Zombie Guy.

Fortunately, the lead singer of Eric's favorite band (Angelo Moore, from the legendary Fishbone, playing himself) is on Eric's side. Inbetweening melds live action, animation, puppets, and even a musical number to reveal Eric's increasingly fractured journey.

The Other Christmas Show by Adam Griswold

Aaron Hawthorne, a down-on-his luck community theater director, sees an opportunity when a successful Broadway producer plans to mount an ambitious production of "A Christmas Carol" in his hometown. Aaron reunites his old troupe and attempts to put on a musical Christmas spectacular of his own, hoping he just might get the Broadway producer's attention and achieve the fame and success that's eluded him for years.

Zombie Chronicles by Marvin Suarez

Zombie Chronicles is a gritty, handheld-shot horror feature that follows a group of survivors navigating a brutal post-apocalyptic world overrun by the undead.

Told through a raw, documentary-style lens, the film captures the emotional unraveling, paranoia, and moral breakdown of those clinging to life as society collapses around them.

Survival isn’t just about escaping the dead

it’s about confronting the darkness within.

I'd Rather Be Turned Into Cat Food by Walter Santucci

 

Starring the voices of punk rock legends Jack Grisham and Keith Morris, "I’d Rather Be Turned Into Cat Food" is an independent feature film that explores existential philosophy via hand drawn animation and live action puppetry. Funny and tragic, it's a strange confluence of "My Dinner With Andre", "Sid and Nancy" and "Sesame Street".
