Video McNasties presents the Nasty Frames Independent Film Festival! We’re dedicated to bringing you some of the sleaziest, filthiest, greasiest, trashiest, grimiest, nastiest cinematic entertainment that money can buy, and maybe some other stuff as well. We’re not overly picky, but we look for projects that have heart and soul. We’re independent filmmakers as well as cinema enthusiasts, so we can appreciate the hard work and sacrifice that goes into a production, and we want other people to recognize it. We also want to provide the viewer with an alternative to conventional festival programming and Netflix recommended viewing.
-Luke Meneok, festival director
