2nd Annual Micheaux Film Festival Takes Over Regal Cinema LA Live on February 21-23

The Micheaux Film Festival is currently accepting submissions for its second annual program scheduled to take place at the Regal Cinema LA Live on Friday, February 21- Sunday, February 23rd 2020 and tickets are on sale now. The multicultural festival showcases and celebrates diverse representation both in front of and behind the camera, by providing an outlet for independent filmmakers to showcase their work in state-of-the-art facilities. The event will also feature industry panels, a networking mixer and awards ceremony.

The festival was named after Oscar Micheaux, a black filmmaker who wrote, directed, produced and distributed over 44 feature films from the 1920s to the 1940s. Micheaux defied racial and economic barriers, while also operating outside of the conventional Hollywood system of commercial financing. The festival is co-directed by Telly award-winning and Emmy-nominated filmmaker, Noel Braham, and Emmy-nominated producer, Courtney L. Branch.

The 2019 festival showcased the works of award-winning directors, writers, producers, and actors whose work has gone on to be recognized by Disney/Lucas Films, NBCUniversal, the Emmy Awards (Daytime/Primetime), and Film Independent. The festival brought out more than 200 guests to the world-renowned Regal Cinemas LA Live: A Barco Innovation Center, one of the most technologically advanced theaters in the nation. Festival alumni include Ryan Harris (Centropolis’ “Midway”) Philippe Pierre (HBO’s “A Black Lady Sketch Show”) and Marti Hines (BET’s “Paper Friends”).

The deadline for independent filmmakers to submit their project on Film Freeway has been extended to December 29. Festival-goers can purchase early bird tickets on Eventbrite.com.
