Grab a pint. Embrace the weird. Celebrate the wild world of indie film.

This Is Where Cult Film Lives

The Washington Underground Film Festival (WUFF) is not your average film festival. Nestled in the heart of Woodinville’s buzzing brewery scene, this one-night celebration of cinema is dedicated to the wild, the weird, and the wonderfully low-budget. From gritty horror to mind-bending sci-fi, from experimental shorts to cult classic throwbacks, we’re showcasing the kind of films that don’t always get the spotlight—but damn well deserve it.

And the best part? This is our inaugural year—our first howl into the void—and we’re looking for filmmakers who want to be part of something bold, bizarre, and unapologetically underground.

Submit Your Film for Free (If You’re from WA!)

To honor our roots, films made in the state of Washington can be submitted for free this year. Whether your film was made in 2025 or 1995, we want to see it. Shorts, features, experimental projects, no-budget masterpieces—we’re interested in it all.

Genres we’re obsessed with:

• Horror (yes please)

• Sci-fi (the stranger the better)

• Cult & underground gems

• Experimental oddities

• DIY masterpieces

• Anything weird, wonderful, or uncategorizable

If it’s unique, we want it.
If it’s weird, we need it.

Awards? Oh Yeah.

While this fest is mostly about the love of film and a good craft beer buzz, we’ll be handing out awards in categories like:

• Best Underground Feature

• Best Short Film

• Most WTF Moment

• Best Washington-Made Film

• Audience Favorite

• Cult Classic in the Making

• Any many more…

Get weird. Get recognized.

We’re hosting WUFF at Watts Brewing Company, because what pairs better with experimental cinema than local craft beer? Bring your friends, bring your love of film, and settle in for a night of unforgettable screenings, filmmaker Q&As, and all the glorious genre chaos you can handle.
