Six days and nights of awesome flicks, heavy drinking and partying comes to an end!

The inaugural Backseat Film Festival event of 2006 has come to an end, and it was a huge success. Film fans came to the Triangle Theater in droves in search of a good time, and they certainly found it! Thanks to those brave hard drinkin’ folks who took the time, money and booze to support independent film! And for those who missed it, don't worry because we'll be touring with the festival all year long. Upcoming events include Baltimore and New York, and we are accepting entries now for the next Philadelphia Edition, which will take place in October 2006!
