BTSNAT (Brain Trenchard Smith Numb-A-Thon) is based on the Austin Area’s Harry Knowles BNAT (Butt-Numb-A-Thon). BNAT is the celebration of Harry Knowles’ birthday each year at the Alamo Drafthouse and consists of movies of all types, including unreleased movies. Potential attendees submit an application detailing their movie history and why they should be allowed to attend. Due to the nature of BNAT many applications are rejected due to space. In response, Brian Kelley (aka BTSjunkie), Micha Prude (aka ReelDistraction), Noah Lee (aka Noahphex) and Damon Swindall (aka ZombieFreak) created BTSNAT, during which attendees bring their own movies, clips, and bumpers.
The 2010 BTSNAT included a canvas bag with goodies provided by the planners, which didn’t go as planned, but still turned out brilliantly.
BTSNAT 2.5: BTS BANDITS was a name partially conceived by BTSjunkie and ReelDistraction (BTSNAT 2.5), but BTSjunkie left the rest up to Noahphex and myself. We stuck with the Brian Trenchard Smith theme trying to use a movie title from the Australian director. Finally, using the title from his 1983 movie BMX Bandits, which stars Nicole Kidman in her first role.
From this point I went on to create two potential screen designs for a tshirt and eventually moving on to create a movie sized poster for the event. Once images are finalized I will post them here.
