Sherman Oaks Film Festival deadline passes

Posted on August 2, 2017August 9, 2017 by Jeff

It finally happened… after being open for entries all year, the Sherman Oaks Film Festival deadline of August 1 came and went without a bang. Now the real work begins. The other judges and I have to watch every film and make the official selections. It’s fun to watch movies and call it work, but I stress out over it because I know in a month or so we have to make the final decisions and I have to watch EVERY FILM before that time comes.

I’ve seen a few great ones, including one from a screenwriter I met. I don’t think I’m allowed to tell him early that he’s in. Then again, what would it hurt?

The Mayo Conspiracy on Amazon

Sneaking and tricking their way into the food supply, paying off politicians, as well as the FDA, mayo-boarding and even assassinating those who get in their way, turning back all our recent food and health care reforms, well, those are just some of the sins committed by the food cartel knows as BIG MAYO, that never made it into the history books. However, the full truth about the most polarizing condiment in American history is now out. The Mayo Conspiracy is available to view on Amazon! Check out this award-winning indie film!

FILA 2017 Is A Wrap

Posted on June 15, 2017August 1, 2017 by Jeff

We wrapped up a great festival on June 11, and I have to say it was one of the most rewarding festivals I’ve yet to program. I basically love all 25 films. I want everyone I know who missed these movies to come over and watch them with me. Is that so wrong?

You can check out the awesome trailer I personally cut for the festival RIGHT HERE.
