3 changes from last year’s Riptide Film Festival

Another year, same mission.

The Riptide Film Festival is becoming more connected, more filmmaker-focused, and more immersive from the moment you walk into the theater.

1.) Mixed screening blocks for a stronger audience + networking experience

2.) Filmmaker interviews before each screening block

3.) Officially part of the Torrance Cultural Arts Foundation season lineup

And somehow… tickets still didn’t go up.
$15 General Admission
$40 VIP

Just adding new features wasn’t what mattered most to us this year. 😉

The room feels bigger this year.
More filmmakers. More audiences. More conversations in the lobby. More South Bay cinema.
A real theater. Local films. A crowd that actually wants to be there.

See you at Riptide!

Not all film festivals are like the Riptide Film Festival.

Some give you an email, you might get sent just a laurel, or even a single link.

We give you a BIG screen, full sized theater and an audience that actually shows up.

Riptide Film Festival is built for South Bay filmmakers who want their work to land the way it was meant to be experienced.

Big screen. Real theater. Real audience.

And the people you meet here aren’t random, they’re your next collaborators.

Plus… free parking.

🎬 Why do film festivals matter?

Because they aren’t just places to screen — they’re where culture meets community, and movements begin.
In just 3 days, submissions for Riptide Film Festival 2025 close.

If your film disrupts, reimagines, or dares to say something new — this is your moment.

🎞️ From identity to genre, film festivals are the sacred ground where creators find their tribe — and audiences rally behind stories that speak to them.

🌊 Riptide is built for bold cinema.

For storytellers who know the power of seeing their work on screen with the right crowd.
