  • Attending the festival in person was a great experience. I'm really glad that my film "Elves don't eat rice" was screened in LA. Thank you!

    I'm so happy that my short film "An Angry Wuzza" was part of the 2025 Los Angeles International Children's Film Festival. I attended the festival the year before submitting because a mentor had shown her film with them and recommended the festival. I was pleased by the kindness of Dan and the filmmakers who were there. It was also great seeing the children in the audience and their engagement. When my film was selected to be part of the 2025 roster, Dan was very communicative. The festival does a great job of showcasing filmmakers on their social media and provides community-oriented screenings that have brief panels after the show blocks - which I enjoyed as a way for myself and my sound designer to share about our process with the audience. Talking with attendees and receiving their feedback was encouraging and heartwarming. Check out the festival if you are in LA and if you have a short film, I recommend submitting it to LAICFF!
