Imagine warm sandy beaches in the Southern California sun, cool Pacific Ocean surf and seeing exceptional independent films in the spotlight and being part of the anticipation as it grows!

Relax while you meet and socialize with the attending filmmakers, writers and industry insiders or kick back and enjoy one of the daily seminars learning the tips and tricks from multi award winning filmmakers and seasoned industry professionals.

Take part in a lively and entertaining discussion panel while sipping on a handcrafted ale, wine or dining at the beach reveling in the fresh artisan goods.  And don't miss the nightly networking parties and afternoon socials overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean.

The Seal Beach Film Festival is proud to support independent films and honored to showcase the filmmakers and their creative vision.  With filmmaker's from around the world attending we are honored to have films and writers from the United States, Switzerland, Cyprus, Canada, France, Australia, Saudi Arabia, UK, and Spain represented.

We also are proud to announce the opening night party and silent auction to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.  We are very fortunate to have acquired many once in a lifetime items for the silent auction including vacation packages, sports event packages and Hollywood memorabilia.  All proceeds from the auction go directly to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital where no family is ever turned away or receives a bill.
