- "Attack of the $5 Film Festival" is a reference to Attack of the 50-Foot Woman and $5 Film Festival sounded better than $50 Film Festival. $5 isn't supposed to be the ticket price for the festival, which at least one person has brought up, just saying that for the record
- But seriously if you want to come and you can't afford a ticket, reach out and let us know, we'll figure something out.

Tickets FAQ
I don't have a credit card / can't use Ticket Tailor.
No problem. Email us (scroll down) and we'll figure it out.
If my plans change, can I get a refund?
Arrgh. Probably, but it might take a while to figure that out.
If my film is selected, will I get a free seat?
Yes! For timing reasons, we're putting tickets on sale before we finalize the films being screened, but we are giving away one free seat in the reserved rows to every film selected, if the submitter indicated they can make it. If you're waiting to hear back and want to come either way, go ahead and buy a ticket, and if you get in we'll refund you and release that seat (or you can give that ticket to somebody you'd like to attend!)
Is there a fee?
Ticket Tailor (the site we're using) does charge a modest fee, but nothing like those bloodsuckers at the major chains charge as a 'convenience fee' if you're ordering tickets ahead of time.
