Found Footage Festival
Picture this: you’re channel surfing on autopilot at 3 in the morning. Suddenly, you come across a man jumping up and down and yelling excitedly about your financial future. And he’s wearing a suit covered in question marks. Or, you see a preposterous product, like an attachment for a vacuum that cuts your hair. You question yourself: am I still awake? Am I even sane? And remember fifth grade sex education class? When you were separated according to gender and forced to watch tapes of awkward, unrealistic reenactments of bodily confusion? These videos, the sources of some of our more bizarre life moments, are also the source of inspiration for the Found Footage Festival.
Found Footage Fest hosts Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher’s previous jobs include the Onion and the Late Show with David Letterman. They will be presenting their never-before-seen lineup of found video clips and live comedy this Saturday, Oct. 24th at the Alamo Drafthouse West Oaks at 10 pm.
