BTSNAT 2: THE SPAWNING

What is BTSNAT? The history traces back one year ago as alt.programming to the now famous BNAT, Butt-Numb-A-Thon, in which Harry Knowles celebrates his birthday every December with a highly secretive 24 hour movie marathon at the Alamo Drafthouse. It’s not an easy event to get into so a few film geeks I’ve come to know and respect via Twitter & Fantastic Fest started BTSNAT last year as a counter movie event that occurs on the same day as BNAT. Make sense? BTSNAT stands for Brian Trenchard-Smith Numb-A-Thon.

The idea is that (almost) everyone attending selects a film they think the others haven’t seen that fits the spirit of BTSNAT, i.e. somewhat obscure, bizarre, genre, etc. Interestingly enough (and unplanned?) a few films this year also are featured in Zack Carlson’s already legendary Destroy All Movies!!! The Complete Guide to Punks on Film. In addition, before each film, a “trailer bucket” is chosen for a themed group of previews to watch. Themes include exploitation, old spy films, horror, etc.

The event was hosted by Brian Kelley at his home. Attendees included Noah Lee, Brian Salisbury, Luke Mullen, Rusty Gordon, Micah Matthews, and Josh Johnson.
