HollyShorts Film Festival

Hollywood may be in the midst of gridlock as its actors and writers fight for their fair share, but this celebration of emerging talent persists. The Hollyshorts Film Festival is a week and a half of networking events, Q&As with filmmakers and screenings of short films produced around the world. The annual fest’s screenings will be held at the TCL Chinese 6 (that’s the multiplex behind the famous one), and promises numerous 40-minute films (or less) from early afternoon to midnight. The all-access badge sets you back $160, but you can just opt for a single day for $60
