 What the fuck is Messtival, I hear you cry? Well, if you didn't already know then you've been living under a rock because it's only the First (and best) WAM Film Festival & Awards Ceremony, back again for another year of chaos after a roaring success at our first event in 2019. 
  
 That's right, we're putting on another event to screen your messy and wetlook films - this time, though, it's not just a cinema... We've only gone and gotten an entire bloody theatre to hold it at!  
  
 We'll be opening up film submissions and nominations for awards very very soon so get thinking about what you'd like to submit and who you'd like to nominate now. Films will be selected by a panel and awards will be voted for by the WAM community just like before.  
  
 Once again we'll have an array of fantastic producers & performers presenting the awards, and you'll be able to mingle with everyone and meet your favourite models both before and afterwards too.  
  
 Dress code: Dress to impress, this is an awards show after all! Red carpet/smart/suits/fancy dresses/etc - t-shirts are only acceptable if you bought them from the Messtival merch store (
https://www.redbubble.com/people/messtival/shop).  
  
 And now for some very exciting news: 
 After Messtival, you'll be able to watch a brand new DRAG SHOW ABOUT SPLOSHING which launches previews in May! 
  
 Ginger Johnson is one of my favourite drag queens and I was honoured to be asked to consult on Good Clean Fun along with some other incredible creators & performers from the WAM community, I can't wait to watch the show with you all!  
  
 "When a shocking revelation from the past comes back to haunt her, Ginger Johnson is thrown into a world of shame, desire... and instant custard. 
 It's 2011 and Johnson is working in a baked potato shop in Newcastle and moonlighting as a drag queen in East London. Fuelled by cheesy beans and a thirst for attention, she makes a silly video of herself getting covered in ketchup and posts it on the internet. It gets 15 likes. 
 Fast forward 10 years and the long-since-forgotten video has found its audience… but not quite the one she was expecting. 
 Good Clean Fun is a sexy, hilarious, messy show for anyone who has ever posted a video of themselves on the internet. It's about finding yourself in unexpected places and making the most out of making a mess." 
  
 Watch the trailer and find out more about Ginger Johnson on her website, and don't forget to follow her on Twitter & Instagram and tell her how excited you are!
