SBIFF
The Santa Barbara International Film Festival brings Hollywood to our own backyard, but what about the filmmakers who are already here? The festival has long given our writers and directors their own sidebar to show off the many documentaries and fiction films produced here. Some come out of the many production courses available here, others from small production studios and others just have to make films by any means possible.
For the first time this year, SBIFF offers a prize for Best Santa Barbara Feature, and all the contestants are documentaries.
