***COVID STATEMENT***
​
We are producing a full on, live film festival in Southern California. HOWEVER, we are susceptible to country, state and local laws, which enforce specific, gathering guidelines. To that end, circumstances beyond our control include venue policy and protocol, and insurance limitations.
​
The SoCAL Fest is a one hundred percent live event. We hold screenings, an Awards Ceremony, Pre-Receptions, and After Parties!
​
For the year 2024 and for the foreseeable future, we will be producing exclusive live events. Please understand, before submitting, that with little to no notification, we may have to change presentation formats, venues, and/or dates in adherence to any local or national policies.
