Film Festival,   Screenplay / Writing Contest

Our mission is to provide a festival where filmmakers are treated with respect and given opportunities that empower the filmmakers career, We strive to do things differently than other festivals and part of how we do this is the way we market the selected films. We believe that helping others is the only way to operate and want filmmakers that also have this mindset, so we cultivate a working community in Hollywood that will continue to extend past the festival.



The most important thing to an indie film is exposure, so the film is distributed worldwide and profits are made. At LA Live Film Fest we award the winners just that. Marketing! Our promotions company, Big House LA, will market the films on over 37 Facebook filmmaker forums along with other social media sites

'Code' takes place in bustling St. Gerard Memorial Medical Center, where Dr. Lena Flores, (Cherubim Abueme), is a burned out senior medical resident who is about to take her turn as '3rd Call', the house senior overnight. With the help of the inexperienced Dr. Jimmy Sterling, (Reid Honeywell) and the mysterious Dr. Theo Vaccaro, (Christopher Cendana), Lena must confront disease and death and deal with her own burnout while facing an enemy that suddenly seems more than just her imagination...We made this film to highlight physician burnout, which is a growing crisis made more urgent by the recent pandemic. A recent study found the suicide rate for physicians to be twice that of the general population, higher than even that of military veterans. In 'Code', we team with creative and medical professionals to tell this tale of burnout through the eyes of society's youngest physicians in the modern training environment, and we are confident it will resonate with you whether or not you're in the medical field. Enjoy the show!

Happenstance is an award-winning short film about finding the magic in the ordinary moments.

In our story, Christina and Keith are childhood friends who see each other at a mutual friend's birthday party. When a song comes on that they danced to when they were twelve, Keith insists that Christina dance with him again. Through the dance, they find themselves seeing each other in an exciting and new way.

Happenstance is about how impactful a moment can be. It shines a spotlight on the comfort of nostalgia and recalling feelings of a first crush, but also the thoughts of inadequacy that tag along with it. The cinematography is meant to be incredibly close and sensual; allowing the audience to be as involved in the dance as Keith and Christina. This was a beautiful challenge and I hope that audiences embrace and enjoy it as much as my team of artists and I loved creating it.

WHO CREATED THE GREATEST WORKS OF IAMBIC THUNDER IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE?!? "Behind the Name SHAKESPEARE: Power, Lust, Scorn & Scandal is a fun yet important film: a costume filled journey into literary history's greatest mystery: Who really wrote the works of Shakespeare? This charming documentary is clearly a labor of love, which one can feel in every scene. The world needs it and bravo to Christina di Marlo for doing it!" -- Don Rubin, Professor Emeritus, York University Editor, World Encyclopedia of Contemporary Theatre.

"Why was the most creative poet western civilization ever produced passed off as a commoner from a rustic village on the outskirts of London? And what drives an industry desperate to maintain this charade?

Christina de Marlo (AKA Robin Phillips) explores those four-hundred-year-old questions beguilingly in this romp through the lives of not one but two men, each of whom lived while Shakespeare’s works were being produced. One is that commoner we’ve long been indoctrinated into believing is the bard, but the other—the other was a staggeringly wealthy, astonishingly educated, high-born nobleman who just happened to know Queen Elizabeth I personally, intimately.

Both real people. Quite real. But only one was the author of the greatest works of courtly verse the world has ever seen. Sit back, watch, and let yourself be both charmed and enlightened by this royally entertaining film.

This is the cleverest, most succinct, and bonus -- most fun -- summation of the Shakespeare Authorship Question ever produced, bar none...1,000 kudos." --Laird Williams, Author

Gender-based pricing is illegal in the state of California, yet most hair salons charge women more than men for a haircut. Fair Cut, directed by Kelly Tittle, interviews hair stylists all over California to uncover the truth about gender- based pricing and why it persists, even with laws in place to prevent it. Fair Cut questions people on the street about why they think women’s haircuts are sometimes 50% more expensive than men’s cuts, and then puts their theories to the test by asking stylists how they justify charging one sex more money than the other for the exact same service. Fair Cut sits down with Congresswoman Jackie Speier for a conversation on the importance of ending gender-based pricing discrimination. Fair Cut will make you question your assumptions, consider your biases, and open your eyes to see how you, too, may be overpaying for your haircut.

Micheal D'Asaro lived a life completely intertwined with the sport of fencing. It provided an avenue for him to escape the poverty of Brooklyn's Redhook district through a fencing scholarship to NYU.  Eventually, he became one of the dominant fencers of his era.

But D'Asaro always marched to his own beat which brought him into conflict with the governing body of United States Fencing. He left the sport as a competitor when he wouldn't compromise to suit what he considered old fashioned codes of behavior.

He returned to the sport as a coach in San Francisco purely by happenstance. Just like in his fencing days, D’Asaro achieved success as a coach, most notably at San Jose State University where he directed the women's foil team to five straight national championships.

D'Asaro left an indelible impression on all the people he met. The lessons he passed on are still used today by his students, in fencing as well as in life.
