The Los Angeles Festival Of Movies Is Here To Treat Your Inner Cinephile

#261: Despite being a hub for all things film, Los Angeles doesn't have what could be described as a major film festival. But starting tomorrow, the brand new Los Angeles Festival of Movies is bringing festival highlights and world premieres to three independent venues around the city. Forget the cost of a pass, airfare and lodging in a town like Sundance -- folks in L.A. can attend screenings for just $20 a ticket.

Today we're chatting with festival founders Sarah Winshall and Micah Gottlieb about what the festival will entail and what it means to them to screen great independent films in L.A. You can find tickets and more information about the festival on their website here
And don't worry, we're keeping the movies going and we'll be back next week with another episode of Revival House.
