Dan Savage’s HUMP! Film Festival Always wanted to become your own porn star? Well here’s a chance to


make that happen this coming Saturday, April 12 from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Art Theatre in Long Beach. Since 2005 the HUMP! Film Festival has challenged ordinary people from all over the Pacific Northwest to become temporary, weekend porn stars by making their very own five-minute dirty movies for a chance to win big cash prizes! And baby, they don’t disappoint. The short films submitted run the gamut of sexual styles: straight, gay, lesbian, transgender... pretty much every color in the sexual rainbow and some we never knew existed. The films are funny, thought-provoking, sad, artistic, outrageous and almost overwhelmingly sexy because they are cre- ated and performed by real, sex-positive people just like YOU. See 15 of the hottest HUMP films in action, they will make you laugh, squeal and marvel at the broad (and creative) range of human sexuality. It’s the HUMP! Tour 2014. You’re going to have a blast.
