Hollywood in June was jammed with three film festivals  Hollywood. The 10th LA Greek Festival at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood made you feel like you are in Greece and the films were very personal, and the stories were heartfelt.

Then in June, the  LA Film Festival arrived at the Arclight in Hollywood with the feature Lowriders and many other films with recognizable names and the premiere of Conjuring 2 which is the film to see Culver City Studios were used for the receptions and panels along with the Arclight theater for screenings.Many panels and receptions were available for the audience and if you were a member of Film Independent you received a discount.

The most independent film festival, Dances with Films celebrated the 19th anniversary  in Hollywood close to the footprints and handprints of the stars at the TLC Chinese Theater with the most world premieres, and the ambiance was joyful like going to a high school reunion. Everyone was smiling and seeing old friends, and the red carpet is the longest one. Filmmaker panels and one about distribution was the most important.

The  7th New Media Film Festival slipped in right after the LA Greek Film festival closed, and their venue was at the Landmark Theater in Westwood with very indie films along with panels and a shorts program.

The next step and the most important issue for filmmakers are finding a distributor for your film.
