The backstory....

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!

Originally our mixers were free, just as they are at our festivals, but we are now charging $5 per ticket BUT every person who purchases a ticket and checks-in at the event will get a discount code that will get them $5 off tickets to both film festivals and $5 off the entry fee to both film festivals. Your $5 ticket gets you unlimited discounts to two of L.A.'s highest rated film festivals. A fair deal, especially when you consider that your $5 goes to a non-profit that is devoted to indie filmmakers.

Would you like to attend our monthly mixers for free? Please consider becoming a member of the non-profit that runs SOFF & FILA, the Discover Indie Film Foundation (DIFF), a 501(c)(3) non-profit for the arts. For $99 per year, a DIFF Membership comes with these benefits:

• Submission fee waivers to both SOFF & FILA
• Free admission to all Filmmakers Mixers
