Feature/Narrative
Baby Boy Watkins almost destroys his rise to Rock and Roll fame before he comes to terms with the impact his success has on those closest to him.
Feature/Narrative
Written by Robert James Hayes II and Joseph Guzman. RUN! BITCH RUN! tells the story of Catherine and Rebecca, two Catholic School girls going door-to-door selling Religious paraphernalia in order to pay for their education. Things go horribly wrong when they knock on the wrong door in the wrong neighborhood. After she is brutally raped and left for dead Catherine awakes with one thing on her mind, REVENGE. Run! Bitch Run! is a throw back to the classic 1970's Rape and Revenge films like 'Last House On the Left' and 'Ms. 45.' The film takes place in the late 1970’s where the lack of modern technology made the world a more vulnerable place. This is an original story that has not been explored in recent films. Its uniqueness and chilling subject matter lends itself to horror/thriller audiences looking for something new.

NEW movie theater and live arts venue now open in Philly!

After years of searching for the perfect venue, we at the Backseat Film Festival have announced the opening of our very own theater in beautiful Northern Liberties, Philadelphia. You may remember it as the same space we've held our last 2 Philly festivals, and now we're gearing up to open it full-time as a theater primarily for first-run, independent feature films, giving us the opportunity to show a much broader range of movies, with full theatrical runs throughout the year. Check out the calendar, press clippings, a virtual walkthrough and much more at www.941theater.com. And don't worry...the Backseat Film Festival will be back in Philly this March with all the rock 'n roll movies and free booze you can handle
