Los Angeles, CA, October 30, 2009 – The 2nd Annual MOSAIC LA FILM FEST (MOLAFF) is the follow- up to one of the most successful film festival debuts in Los Angeles. The 2009 MOSAIC LA FILM FEST dares to go where no other film festival has gone – into an exploration of the human spirit to capture our deepest desires, to ask what moves us, what inspires us, and what shakes us with the theme of "Soul Cravings: An Exploration of the Human Spirit."
The Mosaic LA Film Festival officially opens Saturday, November 14, 2009 with a red carpet like no other. It will be held in downtown Los Angeles at the Mayan Theater located at 1038 S. Hill St. 90015. Doors open at 12:00pm with the first session starting at 12:30pm and the second session beginning at 4:00pm.
Based off the themes from Erwin McManus' book Soul Cravings, the films accepted into the festival are creative expressions of what the human soul craves – intimacy, destiny and meaning – from talented filmmakers from around the world.
This year’s film festival, features judges Ralph Winter (producer of the XMEN movies) and Cress Williams (Actor - Grey's Anatomy, Prison Break), will include an interactive theatrical introduction, spoken word, art installations, guest speakers, directors meet & greet, Q&A, music entertainment, food, and so much more.
As with 2008, the 2009 Mosaic LA Film Fest gives filmmakers the opportunity to engage their art, beliefs, and purpose to create inspired, meaningful works. Author and MOLAFF judge, Erwin McManus said of last year’s festival, "The Mosaic LA Film Festival came as a welcomed surprise to those who attended. Its inaugural year established MOLAFF as a source of fresh and talented film makers from around the world. We were wonderfully reminded that the story matters."
Thanks to the generous talent of the artists, a dedicated staff, and industry support behind the scenes, this film festival has set the tone to be one of the most influential and inspirational experiences for audiences and the filmmaking industry as a whole. Whether you are a filmmaker or a film lover, you will be inspired by this experience. The Mosaic LA Film Fest is more than a collection of brilliant short films, it’s an experience of the heart.
