Justin Hannah's movie "Consignment" is an Official Selection at the Brainwash Movie Festival, taking place in Oakland, California on July 19-27.

Now in its 19th year, the Brainwash Movie Festival has been written about in Variety, the New York Times, the Chronicle Pink Section, East Bay Express, Bay Guardian, SF Weekly, and in AAA’s Via magazine, among many others. The New York Times says the festival “pirates a piece of that old Hollywood magic and challenges conventions on the role of public space in the process.”

Started in 1995 as the Cacophony Drive-In Short Film Video Festival, the movies shown at the Brainwash Movie Festival are a great mix of original humor, experimental art movies, innovative animation, and short live-action stories with high production values. The moviemakers are unique and skillful storytellers, and the movies themselves pack a real punch into anywhere from 5 to 18 minutes.

The Brainwash Movie Festival is also unique in that it takes place in a traditional drive-in format, complete with FM speakers. Brainwash considers itself "the original Drive-In/Bike-In/Walk-In movie festival," with attendees driving, biking, and walking to see provocative, humorous and touching movie picks from around the globe.
