The Collaborative Film Festival

The Collaborative Film Festival was founded in 2018. The Collaborative Film Festival is sponsored by The Collaborative and celebrates the work of actors as artists and content creators. This one of a kind festival celebrates not only the actors that bring stories to life on the screen through character, but the actors that are venturing beyond performance to write, direct and produce. The Collaborative is a Los Angeles based non-profit educational institution dedicated to promoting the artistic growth of its 100 members by providing opportunities in education, production and communal creative engagement. Conceived and run by 100 working actors who come together through an intensive audition process, The Collaborative is built by actors, for actors, and is run by actors. We are constantly striving for new ways to provide opportunities not only for our members, but our extended artistic community. The First Annual Collaborative Film Festival, exclusively celebrated the work of our members at the Downtown Independent Theater in Los Angeles, and garnered industry attention for both the films and the organization itself. Building on that success, The Collaborative Film Festival is returning for a second year expanding its slate of films, and broadening its artistic circle. Films screened have gone on to screen and win accolades at Cleveland, Palm Springs, Pittsburgh Film Festival and more. Offering unique meet & greet opportunities for filmmakers, eclectic screening blocks, and a final holiday/closing party, The Collaborative Film Festival is an opportunity to screen your film in the cultural hub of Downtown Los Angeles and be introduced to a community of actors and artists creating bold, innovative work.
