Silver Lake Film Festival (SLFF, Inc.) is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization established to provide a showcase for independent film in Los Angeles. In the film capital of the world, and in the shadow of the Hollywood film industry, independently produced films are often neglected and worse, rarely presented.
Silver Lake Film Festival was created to specifically address the lack of opportunity for independent narrative features and documentaries, as well as short films, to be seen by audiences in movie theaters. These are films that reflect a personal vision of the filmmaker, rather than a commercial imperative. In fact, the majority of films screened at the annual SLFF festival would otherwise never been seen by Los Angeles audiences in any context - in theaters, on TV or DVD, etc. In addition to its annual festival, the organization presents a monthly screening of short films that is consistently SRO and a variety of media arts and related arts programming throughout the year.
Who I'd like to meet: Over the last six years Silver Lake Film Festival has built a solid reputation as Los Angeles.. leading independent film festival. Indeed, L. A. Weekly recently named Silver Lake Film Festival as one of Los Angeles Top 5 film events.
What makes Silver Lake Film Festival stand out in the film capital of the world? For one thing we don..t try to be all things to all people. We..re very comfortable in our skin as Los Angeles.. premiere showcase for independent and alternative films. By virtue of our size - in 2005 the festival screened more than 275 feature, documentary and short flms .. we have also become one of the largest events of its kind in the world
I've stepped a little outside my normal "horror writer" persona this week :-) To celebrate the season, I've created a Holiday Madness page, with links to a free Christmas short fantasy story ("Christmas, The Hard Way"), a rock 'n' roll holiday song I wrote and recorded a few years ago ("Show Me Christmas"), holiday wallpaper for your computer and more. You can hear the song and follow the link from my MySpace page, or just click the banner below. Darkest Holidays to you!
