We look forward to a great festival with over 30 award winning films, including Robert Pattison in our Saturday May 2 Twilight Showing of "HOW TO BE" a feature film he starred in before "Twilight". We also have the honor to be presenting over 20 Premieres, including the Los Angeles Premiere of "Chasing the White Dragon" by FirstGlance Alumnus Kathylynn Phillips, starring an amazing performance by Amanda Ward, an up and coming star. An amazing premiere feature "Saving God" starring Ving Rhames, and "Balancing the Books" with Leah Thompson and a great ensemble cast.

Our short program showcases talent from around the globe, including the last performance from Brad Renfro, before his untimely passing, Ian Ziering in a surprisingly dramatic short, and some great performances from children in "Gone Fishing", "Light Years" and "Alba"

Did you ever think "Connect Four" could bring together people from across the globe...think again, our documentary features are the most entertaining documentaries you'll see at any film festival.
