The Los Angeles Festival of Movies Returns for Year Two: Fest Founders on Growing an Indie Audience in an Industry Town
As Los Angeles Festival of Movies readies its return, the co-founders discuss growing the fest and elevating indies from Tim Robinson and Chloë Sevigny.
Film selections include one world premiere in Dennis Cooper and Zac Farley’s surrealist haunted house movie “Room Temperature,” along with favorites from fests like Rotterdam and Sundance. After its volunteer-driven 2024 edition, LAFM launched a successful fundraising campaign last fall to reaffirm its audience’s appetite for indies — and to provide a viable financial incentive for its staff’s continued efforts.
