Founded in 2004, the Found Footage Festival is a live comedy show and screening featuring odd and hilarious clips from videotapes found in thrift stores, garage sales and in garbage cans across the country.

Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett began collecting found videotapes in 1991 after stumbling across a training video entitled, Inside and Outside Custodial Duties, at a McDonalds in their home state of Wisconsin. Since then, they have compiled an impressive collection of strange, outrageous and profoundly stupid videos. Pickett, a former film technician, and Prueher, a former researcher at the Late Show with David Letterman, have written for The Onion and Entertainment Weekly and recently directed the award-winning documentary, "Dirty Country," now available on DVD (www.dirtycountrymovie.com).
