A film festival that focuses on both emerging and established female filmmakers.

The festival will take place in Los Angeles California, during a four-day jammed pack festival.

Films that will be selected will showcase the talents of what female filmmakers can and have done!

But don’t let the name fool you! Men and all identifying individuals have submitted and have been an official selection of the festival and some have won! We do not discriminate, we encourage diversity, equality, and inclusion; which has been lacking in this industry. If you support that, WE support you!

    This festival is a SCAM. We applied with our film and were contacted by the festival director saying we were selected. The festival invited us to attend the public screening. We flew to LA, but it didn't happen. Nobody ever replied to our emails, nobody picked up the phone. It's all a scam. COVID isn't an excuse, because the dates were November 2022. Everything was alright by them.

    The festival ran smoothly & the staff was very friendly but I expected the event to be more exciting. There were hardly any attendees during our screening block and the films screened ranged from okay to great. It's a great festival that celebrates female filmmakers which is so important to have so I think just go into it knowing what to expect!

    A great opportunity for female filmmakers to screen their work, meet their peers and see some great films! I was very impressed with the quality of films showcased at FF Fuse Fest, and flattered for In Her View to be included in their midst. Thank you, Alexa!
