FILA/SOFF Monthly Filmmakers Mixer

Several people have requested we try a Saturday Mixer instead of the usual Thursday... and we listened! Our September 2024 Filmmakers Mixer will be on Saturday, September 28 at 7 PM.

These Filmmakers Mixers are hosted by the team behind two of the L.A. area's best reviewed film festivals, Sherman Oaks Film Festival (SOFF - https://filmfreeway.com/shermanoaksfilmfest) and Film Invasion Los Angeles (FILA - https://filmfreeway.com/filminvasionla). Both festivals are regularly on FilmFreeway's Top 100 Best Reviewed Film Festivals list; out of 12,000 festivals worldwide, both FILA and SOFF are in the Top 100. Come out and meet like-minded filmmakers and make worthwhile connections!

The backstory....

Filmmakers kept telling our team at the FILA/SOFF festival mixers, "We love the mixers at your festivals. Why not hold them throughout the year?" We said no... until those filmmakers offered to form a "Mixers Committee" to plan them out. We launched the Monthly Mixers in August 2023 and they've been a blast!

Originally our mixers were free, just as they are at our festivals, but we are now charging $5 per ticket BUT every person who purchases a ticket and checks-in at the event will get a discount code that will get them $5 off tickets to both film festivals and $5 off the entry fee to both film festivals. Your $5 ticket gets you unlimited discounts to two of L.A.'s highest rated film festivals. A fair deal, especially when you consider that your $5 goes to a non-profit that is devoted to indie filmmakers.

Would you like to attend our monthly mixers for free? Please consider becoming a member of the non-profit that runs SOFF & FILA, the Discover Indie Film Foundation (DIFF), a 501(c)(3) non-profit for the arts. For $99 per year, a DIFF Membership comes with these benefits:

• Two (2) free All Access passes to both SOFF (November) and FILA (June)
• Submission fee waivers to both SOFF & FILA
• Free admission to the DIFF Monthly Filmmakers Mixer

• The warm feeling of knowing that you're supporting a non-profit that supports indie film
