The heartbeat of The Long Beach Film Festival
Grassroots Donors are the community believers who fuel the festival’s earliest steps. Every contribution—big or small—helps us elevate local filmmakers, activate Long Beach neighborhoods, and build a cultural home that belongs to everyone.
Your support keeps the lights on, the screens glowing, and the stories flowing. Grassroots Donors receive special recognition on our website and at festival events as champions of community‑powered arts.
We are proud to honor our current Grassroots Legacy Donors:
Kirk and Christina Johnson
Olives Gourmet Grocer
Help Us Build the First Annual Long Beach Film Festival!
Every great festival begins with a handful of believers. Sundance. Telluride. Palm Springs. Each was built by people who showed up at the beginning. The ones who can say, "I was there on Day One."
The Long Beach Film Festival is at that moment right now and the partners who join us this year become part of our permanent story.
Help build a new cultural anchor for Long Beach.
Every great film festival has a Day One—this is ours.
