Feature/Narrative
MINGHAGS [ming-'hags] plural. Noun [American (slang)].
1. A group of socially inept, emotionally maladjusted individuals. Following the worldwide success of the CKY video series and indie film HAGGARD, Bam Margera (from MTV's JACKASS, VIVA LA BAM, BAM'S UNHOLY UNION, ETC.) directs and stars in his new epic comedy, MINGHAGS! BAM MARGERA and BRANDON DICAMILLO star as Lenny and Ponce, trailer trash rockers who have vowed revenge on billionaire scumbag Rut Ru (BRANDON DICAMILLO ) for heisting their cool invention “The Garbage Juicer”! In desperation, the dimwits recruit Tucker (RYAN DUNN of JACKASS, VIVA LA BAM, HOMEWRECKER, ETC.), a whipped wussy who endlessly obsesses over a worthless wench who has shamed him into submission! Meanwhile, their pal Ralph (MARK THE BAGGER of the HOWARD STERN SHOW) is a campus nincompoop who has flunked and found himself grounded for life by his father (POP POP MARGERA) ! Will the nimrods foul Rut Ru’s well laid plans, save the Garbage Juicer and still get to the sorority party on time? Cameos and appearances by THE DUDESONS, THE BLOODHOUND GANG, GINA LYNN, PHIL AND APRIL MARGERA, and "COMPTON ASS" TERRY KENNEDY.
Feature/Narrative
HOMO ERECTUS, a comedy set in prehistoric times, follows the exploits of the hapless Ishbo (Adam Rifkin), a philosophical caveman who yearns for more out of life than sticks, stones, and raw meat. Determined to single-handedly, advance the human race, Ishbo continually irritates his fellow Neanderthals with ridiculous inventions like the toothbrush, the spoon, and pants. The rest of his tribe, including his exasperated parents (David Carradine and Talia Shire), write off his absurd gizmos and forward thinking ideas as the ravings of an idiot, something that doesn't help his efforts to impress the beautiful Fardart (Ali Larter), the cavegirl he loves from afar. Fardart only has eyes for Ishbos studly but dimwitted brother, Thudnik (Hayes MacArthur). As if things couldn't get any worse, the enemy tribe on the other side of the hill is readying for war. Will Ishbo ever win Fardarts love? Can he possibly survive a man-eating woolly mammoth or a man-hating tribe of beautiful but deadly Amazons? Can he finally pull his species out of the primordial doldrums before he's history?

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
