Opening Night Gala - FI-LA 2026

The Discover Indie Film Foundation is the non-profit behind two of the L.A. area's best reviewed film festivals, Sherman Oaks Film Festival (SOFF - https://filmfreeway.com/shermanoaksfilmfest) and Film Invasion Los Angeles (FILA - https://filmfreeway.com/filminvasionla).Both festivals are  on FilmFreeway's Top 100 Best Reviewed Film Festivals list. Out of 12,000 festivals worldwide, both FILA and SOFF are in the Top 100!Filmmakers kept telling our team at the FILA/SOFF festival mixers, "We love the mixers at your festivals. Why not hold them throughout the year?" We said no... until those filmmakers offered to form a "Mixers Committee" to plan them out. We launched the Monthly Mixers in August 2023 and they've been a blast!Come out and meet like-minded filmmakers and make worthwhile connections!
