TALENT  RUNS  DEEP

Our films are no stranger to the same top level talent that you would find any weekend at your cinema.  Our films have had talented performers like Nick Offerman, Julia Stiles, Michael Fassbender, Richard Kind, Jennifer Morrison, Karen Gillan, Hailee Steinfeld, Liam Cunningham, Ronny Cox, Adam Brody, Rose McIver, Keith David and Sarah Paulson to name a few. 

FESTIVAL  TRAILER

Each year we produce a unique festival trailer that plays in the Century Theaters in Walnut Creek and the surrounding areas about a month prior to our events.

​Each trailer is made by painstakingly pulling individual scenes from up to fifty of our short films, set to an original soundtrack written just for the festival.
