In a town that’s all about the glitz and glamour on the big screen, the Golden Hollywood International Film Festival celebrates the talent behind the camera. Touted as “The Director’s Film Festival,” GHIFF focuses on storytellers, specifically directors who create for the emerging world of new media. It takes a village to create and tell the story and our festival recognizes those creative entities who work behind the camera including Producers, Directors, Casting Directors and Director of Photography.
Our festival directors, filmmaker and award-winning director Nancy Criss, PGA and award-winning writer and filmmaker Sherri Carlson champion the creative process of women in the movie business and the independent stories they create for the new media platforms including Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Amazon and the smaller unique platforms that are emerging in these changing times. The Golden Hollywood International Film Festival provides a space for creatives to exposition their works and thrives in the digital media arena.
The Golden Hollywood International Film Festival is an online festival year one and will move to a physical venue in 2020 for year two.
