Film Oasis
ShortFest Marketplace & FAM
In June we exhibited at the ShortFest marketplace to educate filmmakers on the destination’s vast variety of locations. In addition to the marketplace, we partnered with ShortFest to take filmmakers on a one-day FAM following the festival. We hosted 6 filmmakers on the FAM, showing them location highlights throughout Greater Palm Springs.
