I am the Founder and CEO of the Tarzana International Film Festival (TZIFF), and I truly love bringing people together who share a passion for film and storytelling. What started as a vision has grown into a platform that supports independent filmmakers and helps connect them with audiences, industry professionals, and new opportunities.

Based here in Los Angeles, TZIFF welcomes diverse voices from around the world and celebrates meaningful, creative storytelling. My goal is to create a space where filmmakers feel seen, supported, and appreciated - while also building a strong, connected community of people who simply love great films.

Services:

TZIFF provides a professional platform for independent filmmakers to showcase their work on the big screen while gaining exposure, credibility, and industry connections.

We offer:
• Film festival screenings in Los Angeles
• Awards and official selections to build filmmaker credibility
• Networking opportunities with creatives and industry professionals
• Promotion across digital platforms to expand audience reach
• A curated experience focused on storytelling, culture, and community

In addition, we partner with local and national businesses to offer sponsorship opportunities that deliver real-world exposure and brand visibility during the festival. Sponsors benefit from direct access to our engaged audience through on-site presence, red carpet exposure, digital promotion, and brand integration throughout the event experience.

Our goal is simple: help filmmakers get seen, get recognized, and grow their careers—while giving sponsoring businesses a powerful platform to connect with a creative, high-value audience in Los Angeles.

Accomplishments:

We successfully hosted the 2025 Tarzana International Film Festival, featuring a diverse lineup of independent films and emerging talent.

We are continuing to expand our reach, increase filmmaker participation, and elevate the festival experience for 2026 and beyond.
