The festival founders Jon Gursha and Peter Greene produced this year’s edition of the festival with the goal of bringing together filmmakers and technology to reach a wider audience. The weeklong festival kicked off with an opening night networking party at Cabo Wabo Cantina at Hollywood and Highland on Thursday, September 30, and finished up with a well attended awards show at the TCL Chinese 6 Theatres on Friday night, October 8. “We’re proud to have screened over 250 independent films from very talented filmmakers from around the world,” said Gursha.
Interesting and informative Q & A sessions were held during the festival with some of the filmmakers in attendance. “It’s exciting to showcase great independent films in Hollywood at the TCL Chinese 6 Theatres and to hear from the filmmakers as well,” said Greene. The global movie industry has greatly expanded over the years, inspiring different categories of films for diverse audiences. Technology has enabled filmmakers and other professionals in the industry to provide captivating content in their work.
The Silicon Beach Film Festival 2021, an in person event, continues in the tradition of past editions to bring together filmmakers, actors, movie production companies, film directors, and other professionals in the industry to celebrate excellence in independent filmmaking and to network.
In addition to the Silicon Beach Film Festival 2021, held at the TCL Chinese 6 Theatres in Hollywood, some of the festival films will continue to screen on the ShortsDaily Channel on the Roku platform.
