    What a wonderful festival! From the time our short film Thank You Sade became an Official Selection and then went on to be nominated for 2 awards, we received top notch communication from Ms. Michelle. There was a warmth and enthusiasm from her and the entire LVBFF staff that went above and beyond and made attending this festival an absolute joy. We look forward to returning!

  • The entire LBFF was filled with incredible films, amazing connections.... and winning the 2024 Actors Showdown competition was INCREDIBLE! Thank you, Ms. Michelle for your vision and for your desire to provide opportunities for actors, producers, writers and with resources to expand and evolve their gifts.
