The Los Angeles United Film Festival (LAUFF) will be held at the prestigious Fine Arts Theater in Beverly Hills on April 18th – 20th with a kick off party on April 17th at the Gibson Musical Instruments Showroom.
The festival’s focus is to bring together talented filmmakers from diverse backgrounds, thus creating a “United” showcase of creative energy and talent. This is a film festival for everyone, a place where art and community converge.
A Tulsa native filmmaker, Jason Connell and his production company Connell Creations founded Los Angeles United Film Festival and recently completed their first feature length film “Strictly Background.”
This award-winning documentary is based on the trials of 10 movie extras trying to make it big in Hollywood. Although he now lives in LA, Connell continues to run Tulsa United Film Festival (TUFF) – now entering its 6th year – and launched New York United Film Festival (NYUFF) in ’07.
The rich tradition of screening humorous, touching and sometimes provocative films is reaching even more people than ever. This is one film festival you won’t want to miss!
LAUFF is proud to present an amazing list of Award-Winning Documentaries & LA Premieres.
“Dirty Country” and “The Union: The Business Behind Getting High” with personalities such as comedian Joe Rogan will kick off the festival, followed by the weekend line-up: “From the 50 Yard Line”, “Darius Goes West” with appearances by William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman, “Wiener Takes All”, “Strictly Background”, “Red HotChili Peppers: Untitled Documentary”, “Fish Call Flea”, “The Jesus Guy”, “Finding Kraftland” with appearances by world famous composers Danny Elfman & Alan Menken, “Row Hard, No Excuses”, concluding the festival with “Piece of Mind.”
