Partner With HUMP!
The Best Dirty Little Film Festival IN THE WORLD
For more than 20 years, HUMP! has brought together curious minds, adventurous audiences, independent filmmakers, queer communities, artists, nightlife enthusiasts, and people who aren't afraid to laugh, blush, cheer, or talk about sex in public.
Founded by Dan Savage in 2005, HUMP! has grown from a one-night experiment into an internationally touring film festival screening entirely new collections of short films twice each year across North America and Europe.
Today, HUMP! reaches tens of thousands of attendees through live events, streaming collections, digital media, and community activations.
We're not just selling tickets. We're creating experiences, conversations, and community.
