Calling all filmmakers with the dream of making a difference! We’re honored to welcome passionate multi-hyphenate, Danny Hastings, for a chat about getting your work seen! Danny created the Official Latino Film Festival in 2015, in response to the lack of Latinx representation in Hollywood films and TV shows. Learn how the festival circuit works, what judges are looking for, and most importantly how to build a window when you find yourself up against closed doors. This chat, moderated by LAFS Alumni Mario Novoa is a must see for those with a message and mission.

Join us October 21st for our LARS Live Spooky livestream event!  This month we have TWO dynamic musical artists, and THREE horror short films showcasing the amazing talent at LAFS and LARS!  With a special guest appearance from Dracula himself streaming live from the Ivar Theatre!!!!
