Found Footage Festival History
The Found Footage Festival, founded in 2004 by Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher, originated as a showcase for the duo's passion for obscure and forgotten video footage. Their journey began with the collection of odd and bizarre clips from thrift stores, garage sales, and flea markets. The festival quickly gained traction as they hosted live shows, screening these eclectic finds to audiences across the United States. By combining elements of comedy, commentary, and nostalgia, the Found Footage Festival established itself as a unique event that celebrates the charm of poorly produced media. Over the years, it has evolved from small screenings into a touring festival, drawing in a diverse audience eager to experience the humor and absurdity of lost footage. The festival not only showcases found video content but also incorporates live performances, where the founders often interact with the audience, providing a comedic narrative that further enhances the viewing experience. It has become a staple in the world of live entertainment, bridging the gap between film and performance art, and has inspired similar events around the country.
