The historic theater in Moorpark was recently featured in Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-nominated The Fabelmans - and this weekend, will host the Moorpark Film festival.
"We took a little break to let the COVID thing run its course, and now we're back," explained Jay Ellison – a filmmaker and one of the festival’s organizers.
He says that from Star Wars fandom to dramas, documentaries and Q&A’s, the festival program has something for everyone.
"We're going to open the festival up with a really amazing event. We're screening two Star Wars fan films made by a Moorpark local producer, and they're really top notch. And in fact, a lot of the cast and crew members work on those actual Disney shows like The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka," said Ellison.
The Moorpark Film Festival starts Friday and runs through Sunday.
