The inaugural Brentwood & Pacific Palisades International Film Festival is now in the books!

Brentwood & Pacific Palisades Film Festival was minutes away from the heart of the entertainment community in Hollywood and next to the beaches of Southern California.

It's a film festival created by filmmakers for filmmakers. We were proud to create an event to encourage creativity and inspire filmmakers with access to networking, panels with talent and distribution, film distribution and the latest in filming technology.
