Executive Director of LA Film Prize, Gregory Kallenberg, talks to The nsavides Podcast about why the festival he leads is so unique and why it is a great opportunity for filmmakers in Louisiana. The festival’s top prize of ~~$40,000~~ $50,000 is unprecedented in a short-film competition.

In addition to the big prize, Gregory also highlights some other unique aspects of the festival and some of its lesser known awards that should also be of interest to filmmakers. For example, the top 5 films receive distribution on iTunes and festival appearances throughout the country. The interview also includes some helpful tips for filmmakers who want to participate.
