Life Matters

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode of Life Matters, Brian Johnston gives a brief history of the Life Fest Film Festival which has been held in Hollywood, California for 12 years! This is the first of a special iteration of Life Fest which will be entirely visible from your home. All films and workshops, all breakout sessions will be available to you directly, and a special season pass is available for your viewing in the weeks after Thanksgiving. 

The program contains interviews with Vanna White, Kevin Sorbo, Clint Howard and others. 

This unique film festival allows aspiring filmmakers and ‘experienced hands’ in the industry to present their work to film watchers around the world.

In this episode, Brian gives a brief overview of his experience in the entertainment industry, and his teaching experience of both literature and film. This special online film festival is unique in the world and allows many of these international film makers an opportunity to reach an otherwise unreachable audience. Some Iranian filmmakers and those who have been cut off from free-speech rights have submitted films.

Perhaps most importantly, the theme of this unique festival is that it honors films that underscore the significance of each individual life and in particular, the seemingly insignificant life.  It has brought a fresh hope to Hollywood and to the industry at large.
