THE FILM INDUSTRY
The film industry is absolutely crazy right now! 2020 was certainly a strange time to be a filmmaker. Though for some, it spiraled into an absolute astonishment of creativity. A portion of LAIFF’s 2021 films were made amidst the pandemic and that’s amazing. Of course, this whole situation has been devastating for many. But when we’re able to see creativity thrive among folks in our world, it makes us incredibly inspired. We’ve been working each and every day to make sure this festival and this overall film network is everything it can be and more. Hopefully you all get a ton of value and entertainment out of this catalog, as that is our goal overall.
Be sure to utilize our resources and get the most out of this! We want our catalog to bring light to these incredible films, as well as bring value to all the filmmakers involved and beyond. We’re continuing to add resources across The Film Festival Network, in hope of making it the best resource it can possibly be for our filmmakers and other filmmakers out in the world. We hope you enjoy!
