In early November 2005, the Independent Film and Television Alliance, whose membership includes Troma President Lloyd Kaufman (who serves as the IFTA's Vice Chairman, not to be mistaken with Chairman of Vice, which is another story for another day), held its annual market at the beautiful Loews Santa Monica hotel.
This was a special year due to it marking the second annual TromaDance/Kodak Independent Spirit Award acknowledged to the most break-out independent filmmaker of the year. The recipient was Jenna Fischer, for her directorial debut of LOLLILOVE. The guest of honor to present her the award was Fred "the Hammer" Williamson.

		And there was much rejoicing...
