DIY Outdoor screening July 5th

It was a wonderful evening under the stars.  Attendees were gifted a small trinket from Avid.com, and an immaculate screen and terrific surround sound dolby sound system.  Nestled in a patio next to umami burger (listed by many as the best burgers in LA) movie goers were treated to a tasty sampling of the 2011 DIY Film festival winners.

There was John Tupper's "On the Rise" to start things off, then some of the various great shorts like Jesse Griffith's "Cockpit," starring Ronny Cox, "Bathing and the Single Girl," Christine Elise's debut film, Johnny Ma's dark and thrilling "The Robbery" and Cody Blue Snider's tour de force "All That Remains."

With the CNN tower keeping the screen backlit with its omnipresent red scrawling logo, it was remarkably better than some of LA's great outdoor viewing venues; less chaotic than Century City's outdoor series, better sound and screen luminosity than Santa Monica's Pier series. A steady stream of diners and movie goers were treated to some excellent viewings, which they put on every Tuesday night.

The DIY Film Fest is hosting another screening the night of July 23rd, so stay tuned to this page for further information.  Thanks for coming out, and we'll see you at the next screening!!!

DIY SCREENINGS JULY 5TH!

Couldn't make it to the Cannes Film Fest?





The DIY Film Festival is please to announce that we're going to be screening some of our films outdoors at the "umami urban" Cafe in Hollywood on July 5th.


It's at 1520 North Cahuenga in the inside of the SPACE 15 TWENTY. 

Oooh. Umami.

It's a very cool venue, an outdoor patio with a huge screen, state of the art speakers, with the some of the best burgers being served (check out their menu and full bar) next door.  This is something the umami folks have been doing in the past, having outdoor screenings next door to their restaurant, and they offered us a night to highlight some of our DIY festival films.

Parking is a bit tricky, there are numerous pay lots nearby, be careful to read the signs if you street park.
So if you're in Hollywood around the Nation's Birthday, come on down!  The list of films to be screened is evolving as we speak, there will be some former winners, and perhaps a film or two from the upcoming festival - we'll contact each filmmaker to see if they're available.

It's part of our DIY concept to feature the entrants at festivals and screenings around the city, to allow more folks to get a chance to see these amazing films.  The screenings will begin at 8 p.m., and after consulting with filmmakers, we'll post a screening schedule.  But all of them will be excellent, edge of your seat entertainment. Hope you can make it!!!!
