Founded in 1999 by Lloyd Kaufman (President of Troma Entertainment and Creator of The Toxic Avenger) and inspired by Trey Parker (South Park), whose first film Cannibal: The Musical! was a Troma release, TromaDance enjoyed ten successful years in Park City, Utah. In 2010, a larger TromaDance came home to New Jersey, home of Tromaville andThe Toxic Avenger. The response TromaDance received from the people of Asbury Park and the media was overwhelmingly positive. Unlike mainstream festivals, TromaDance does not charge film makers to submit their films and entrance to all screenings is free and open to the public. There are no VIP reservations or preferential treatment regarding films, panels, or parties of any kind given. The organizers of TromaDance believe films are meant to be seen, especially when it comes to new filmmakers. Art - in all its forms - is for the people!
