Holly Weird Film Festival to Screen in North Hollywood
Burbank, California - The other side of
Hollywood is coming to the entertainment capital of the world.
The first annual Holly Weird Film
Festival will take place Sunday, June 9th in North
Hollywood at the California Institute of Abnormal
Arts. Celebrating true original underground filmmaking, Holly Weird
celebrates and showcases independent films of all genres that feature
a distinct vision, a unique voice, or an avant-garde challenge to
what is expected or accepted. The festival is making it's mission to
showcase the work of filmmakers who defy independent visions.
“It's important for original
underground filmmakers to have a venue to share their work with the
world”, says the festival's founder, award-winning underground
filmmaker Jack Truman. “As a filmmaker, I know how hard it is for
underground filmmakers to make their movie. It's important for them
to share their art. There is an audience out there that is hungry for
true, original independent film that defies the norm. We're focused
on the unique and innovative, and are thrilled to bring the other
side of film to the entertainment capital of the world”.
Over 20 films from around the world
will screen on June 9th, including short and feature
narrative, documentary and experimental films. Some of the films to
be included is the World Premiere of the Kelly Hughes documentary
“Hush, Hush: Nellie Oleson”, and short films “The Old
Stripper”, “Pop”, “Hot Dog” and “On Tender Hooks”.
“We have an electric lineup of
amazing films scheduled for the opening festival”, states Truman.
“These films will shock the world”.
