"This is the true underground cinema - films and videos that, for the
most part, are not produced for the general viewing public. If you
want to see something truly different and disturbing, the Found
Footage Festival has what you're looking for en masse". -- Film
Threat Review Found Footage Festival

-"This event is a show that's not to be missed." -Film
Threat, 12/12/04

-"Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher have harnessed the
voyeuristic impulse that's made Found magazine such a
smash and done it one betterhellipFunny, disturbing, and
disorienting." -J.R. Jones, Chicago Reader, 12/17/04

-"A unique film festival designed to appeal to those
who enjoy the voyeuristic embarrassment of catching a
neighbor playing air guitar or relish the contrived
storylines of corporate training videos." -Harmon
Leon, Wired.com, 4/5/05

-"I nearly died laughing." -Will Femia, MSNBC.com,
4/13/05

-"A mind-bogglingly inane collection of
middle-America's fixation with the video camera."
-Joshua Bernstein, New York Press, 8/3-8/9/05

-"A surprisingly compelling selection of found film
footage" -New York Magazine, 7/25/05

-Five stars (out of five). "No mortal man could
possibly come up with something this
entertaining...It'll be an experience you'll be
talking about for a long time to come." -Eric Campos,
Film Threat, 8/10/04
