For ten years now, Tampa Bay Underground Film Festival (TBUF) has been dedicated to catching indie movies that fall through the cracks and end up, well, underground.

For this milestone anniversary, organizers are in Port Richey (and sponsored!) as they take over Cinema 6 with about 200 movies showing over four days. Non-Florida films include work by James Remar (“Glowzies,” a sci-fi about aliens) and “The Founder Effect” about a grandfather searching for his missing grandson. Saturday is the big “Eras Block” party featuring local filmmakers from TBUF’s early days, including Stefanie Davis (pictured).

Tickets to the Tampa Bay Underground Film Festival— happening Thursday-Sunday, Dec. 7-10 at Port Richey Cinema 6 (9510 U.S. Hwy-19)— are still available and start at $10. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
