HOST A GREEK FILMMAKER DURING LAGFF - JUNE 6-9, 2013
The economic crisis in Greece has significantly limited the likelihood of filmmakers traveling to Hollywood to share their work with us in person.  The cost of travel to Los Angeles, accommodations for 5 days, and expenses such as meals are prohibitively expensive for artists.

Would you consider helping a filmmaker come to LAGFF? Do you have a spare room available within 10 miles ofour festival venue, the Writers Guild Theater in Beverly Hills? Would you consider extending your hospitality to a filmmaker for a few days? Could you imagine what a great opportunity and interesting experience it would be to meet and host a filmmaker in your home?

If you would be interested in hosting a filmmaker, please contact Eleni Arvaniti at eleni@lagreekfilmfestival.org for more details or to discuss how you may be able to help.

PLEASE DONATE
If you are unable to offer your home, but would like to help a filmmaker, please consider making a small tax-deductible contribution to our Host a Greek Filmmaker program.  Make a donation of $10 or more and you will automatically be entered in a raffle to win two VIP tickets for the David Copperfield Show in Las Vegas.


Every dollar raised will be distributed to our incoming filmmakers to help them offset their expenses for their trip to Hollywood while attending LAGFF. Visit our donation page and enter the amount you would like to contribute. It's that easy.  Anything you contribute will help, as no amount is too small. Thank you for your generous support!
