The ongoing fires in Los Angeles continue to devastate our home base. It’s heartbreaking to see as we grieve the loss of homes belonging to our friends and family and experience mass evacuations. It’s hard to welcome 2025 at a time like this, but what we can say is that by staying together as a global film community, we can help overcome this crisis. Your kindness and support for those displaced, and how we can help one another, mean the world to us and are deeply appreciated.
Our first festival in Los Angeles will recognize and honor the spirit of this community, as well as celebrate the still wonderful place we call home. We look forward to meeting you there.
Please stay safe, steady, and let’s always look out for one another.
