While it may not have all the glitz and glamour of the recent Sundance Film Festival, the Santa Barbara Film Festival offers a wide variety of independent films and stills draws quite a few big stars including Sandra Bullock, James Cameron, and Jeff Bridges

The Bel Air Film Festival kicked off on Friday the 13th with a series of fiercely original films spanning the emotional gamut.

Every future Oscar winner got their start somewhere. Last weekend, San Diegans were able to see budding talent take their first shot at greatness. The Reel Voices section of the San Diego Asian Film Festival selected eight original documentary films produced and directed by high school film students.
