Hollywood Weekly Magazine Film Festival

On November 6th we held our 7th Annual Hollywood Weekly Magazine Film Festival at the iconic Fine Arts Theater in Beverly Hills. After a year delay due to the pandemic, the show was a success. With international attendees from Ethiopian, China, Italy, Russia and Nigeria, guest were greeted on a red carpet specially located on Wilshire Boulevard right in front of the main entrance of the landmark theater. Upon entrance, live musicals acts serenaded the crowd and everyone discovered that the lobby had been upgraded and was transformed into jazz lounge. Networking between distinguished guests and celebrities were seen mingling with established Hollywood film makers. As people filled the lobby they lined up to enter into the 410 seat Beverly Hills theater. Everyone I spoke to said the atmosphere was electric. The event featured two unique production companies each hosting their own 90 minute session. It started with the Awards, an organization that has been in existence for more than twenty years. They paid tribute to comedy legends including Eddie Murphy, Steve Harvey and many others. This was followed by a historical overview of the Hip Hop music scene. The stories, struggles and glory of some of the world's most well known rap artist who were catalyst of that musical industry spoke to the audience. This was followed by a panel discussion, then Q & A with our guests. This was a summary of our opening. It is written to give you an insight into the work involved in putting on our live event.
