If you think the biggest problem with film festivals today is that there's not enough hot rods, zombies, pin-up usherettes and beer, then the Hot Rod Monsters Film Festival in Seattle is the answer to your Kustom Kulture prayers. The two night festival begins on Saturday July 18th, goes through Sunday July 19th and is described as "a working class film celebration of grease, ink and iron.” It may not be SIFF but it’s definitely fresh and exciting.
