"The PollyGrind really is a celebration of independent films. That's what festivals should be about: exposing people to films that might escape their radar otherwise, not scheduling the same stuff that will be in multiplexes a few months later. I'm proud to have screened at a new festival that has its priorities straight, and the award is very sweet icing on the cake."
- Greg Lamberson, Slime City Massacre

"Thank you so much for selecting our film, thank you for promoting it so beautifully, and
thank you for supporting us and our work."
- Twisted Twins, Dead Hooker in a Trunk

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

The PollyGrind, which will take place May 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 in Las Vegas, considers any and all independently produced grindhouse works. This includes, but is not limited to horror, gore, sci-fi, fantasy, exploitation, sexploitation, underground, arthouse, cult, experimental, dark, creepy and campy features and shorts. The festival also welcomes music videos and trailers/ad spots from any genre.

MISSION & OBJECTIVE

The Polly Staffle Grindhouse Fest is all about the darker side of cinema and the artists that bring those films to life. Our aim is to celebrate individuality, diversity, creativity and empowerment by showcasing the work of filmmakers with defiantly independent visions. The festival will consist of five days of programming in the tradition of grindhouse theaters with double  and triple features each day, bookended by trailers and music videos.
