2024
Red carpet event that shined with stories of love, loss, trust — and a hidden gem in ‘The Last Holdout’
Our second annual event entertained and inspired all who attended — setting a rhythm we’re excited to keep going!
Bonus!
Talk about ending on a high note! Adrian Essiet — composer, songwriter, and all-around showman — wrapped up the festival with the premiere of his retro-inspired music video “Hot Wired.” It was a toe-tapping, feel-good throwback that had the whole room grinning and grooving
Four remarkable debut films—The Lounge, Unbound, ESC, and The Last Holdout—took center stage, each showcasing a bold and unique creative vision. From intimate personal stories to daring cinematic experiments, the lineup revealed the raw talent and passion of their creators, many of whom are connected not just by art, but by lasting friendships.
Engagement
The 2024 event was such a joy! The audience was genuinely engaged, laughing, and asking great questions during the Q&A. We gave away some fun door prizes, which kept the energy high and added a playful touch to the afternoon. It all came together in a way that felt relaxed, connected, and a lot of fun.
