The 14th Annual HUMP! Film Festival, the world’s biggest and best porn short film festival premiers in Seattle Portland, San Francisco this November! After the opening festival concludes its run, HUMP! will hit the road in 2019 and screen in more than 50 cities across the U.S. and Canada!
HUMP! invites filmmakers, animators, song writers, porn-star wannabes, kinksters, vanilla folks, YOU, and other creative types to make short porn films—five minutes max—for HUMP! The HUMP! Film Festival screens in theaters and nothing is ever released online. HUMP! is the film festival that where YOU can be porn star for a weekend in a movie theater without having to be a porn star for eternity on the Internet!
HUMP! films can be hardcore, softcore, live action, animated, kinky, vanilla, straight, gay, lez, bi, trans, genderqueer—anything goes at HUMP! (Well, almost anything: No poop, no animals, no minors, no MAGA hats.) HUMP! films are not released online or in any other form. Filmmakers retain all rights. (Please note: You can find some HUMP! films online after the festival is over—but those were released by the filmmakers, not by HUMP! Most of the films screened at HUMP! aren’t available anywhere else!)
Unlike most short film festivals, there’s no charge to enter HUMP! and $20,000 in cash prizes will be awarded to filmmakers by audience ballot after the opening festival concludes in Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco. And filmmakers whose movies tour with HUMP! get a percentage of every ticket sold during the tour!
