8/16 @ Midnight:
THE SAN FRANCISCO UNDERGROUND SHORT FILM FESTIVAL

Midnight Mass in association with Peaches Christ and Vinsantos presents the San Francisco Underground Short Film Festival. Enjoy midnight movies, b-films, cult cinema, drive-in trash, and the ultra outrageous in fifteen minutes or less. Tonight, we present a cavalcade of Midnight Shorts all made by Bay Area Filmmakers. This is a brand new SF event we hope will grow to become its own off-shoot of Midnight Mass! *Dress up fancy! Meet the filmmakers! Stalk the Stars! Bring your mother!
