The first annual Pacific Coast Premiere provides an opportunity for independent film makers to showcase their shortfilm, network with other film makers, and promote themselves at the red carpet entrance. The event will take place at the Downtown Independent Theatre in Los Angeles on January 15, 2017.

Pacific Coast Premiere is searching for the most creative, talented, and innovative filmmakers of this generation. Understanding the challenge for independent filmmakers to get exposure and recognition for their work, we strive to promote and market the best undiscovered talent we can find through the sole category short-film.
