| The 6th Annual ISFFH Celebrates the Next Generation of Filmmakers |
|

year’s festival. Films have come from

students range from elementary to graduate
school.
The 2008 official film selections will be
screened November 7th and 8th at Beverly
Garland’s Theater at the Beverly Garland
Holiday Inn in North Hollywood. Each
screening segment is followed by a question
and answer period where a moderator from the
film industry leads a discussion with the
filmmakers and the audience. The ISFFH
encourages the filmmakers to actively engage
the audience in discussion to further build
their enthusiasm, self-confidence and public
speaking ability. At the same time, it is an
opportunity to entertain, enlighten,
educate, and engage the audience.
The Awards Ceremony will be held on November
9th in the ballroom at Beverly Garland’s
Holiday Inn where student awards will be
presented. This year Fun Little Movies will
present the winner of Best Comedy with a
paid distribution deal. LAGrip.com will be
awarding prize packages valued at $500.00
each to the Winners of Best Drama and the
Grand Jury Award.

the success of some of America’s best films
over the past 25 years.
