The Los Angeles Independent Film Festival is filled with value for filmmakers, screenwriters, directors, producers, actors and film enthusiasts alike! Across the festival, we have education resources, panels, talks, masterclasses, tools, giveaways, networking opportunities, distribution opportunities and of course: blocks of films made by this years incredible official selections, finalists and award winners.
