Thank you to all the filmmakers and attendees who made the 20th Annual MFF so amazing!

We will continue to promote and support the spirit of indie filmmaking and work to find creative ways for filmmakers to thrive!

Like filmmakers, we too have hopes, dreams, and a vision for what we want this festival to be.

While we still aren't there yet, one thing will always be constant... we will always remain truly independent.

Supporting filmmakers who are the essence of cinema who represent everything this craft is about!

What happens when suspicion becomes evidence?

California Story takes a hard look at gang documentation laws in California and the real lives impacted by them. Through powerful interviews with community advocates, law enforcement, former gang members, journalists, and those directly affected, this documentary explores the consequences of labeling, discrimination, and the fight for justice.

A thought-provoking examination of policy, race, and community, California Story challenges viewers to consider the human cost of guilt by association.

Catch it tonight at 9:45pm!
