Objective

It's been hailed by L.A. Weekly as the festival with "THE WORLD'S SEXIEST DARKEST CRIME SHORT FILMS." Saturday, May 27th, Dave and Buster's hosts THE L.A. NEO NOIR, NOVEL, FILM, AND SCRIPT FEST V (LANNEFF). This festival is brought to you by Carey Westbrook and Associates, whose students include the Academy Award nominated producers of Blue Valentine, A Place Beyond The Pines, Men of Honor, and Soul Food. Starting at 3pm sharp, the showcase of indie neo noir films from L.A. and around the world begins. Numerous cash prizes, good food, a state of the art video game arcade, and the pride and joy of seeing your work on the silver screen for hundreds to enjoy will be made real when you're a LANNEFF participant. We fully produce trailers based on all screenplay, novel, short story submissions, and present the best 25 as film fest selections. We also give you a copy of your trailer to use in any way you see fit. Whether you win or lose, whether you are selected or not, you get a produced trailer for your writing within a month after the festival and we promote that trailer on our website. No other film festival or screenplay / writing festival IN THE ENTIRE WORLD does that.

We have exciting neo noir networking events in place that have reaped benefits for ALL of our past participants. Special celebrity guests from the film and TV industry are scheduled to appear. Our objective: celebrate, showcase, AND sell the work of the greatest independent unknown neo noir filmmakers and writers from L.A. and around the world. We've done this four times. This fifth time plus YOU equals neo noir magic!

Join us at Dave and Buster's, in L.A.'s Howard Hughes Center, where there will be a live belly dancing performance, an awards show, a neo noir trivia game with many neo noir giveaways. See lanneff.com for details. Stay for the great food and state of the art video game arcade. Winners enjoy a $100 prize. So get that amazing neo noir work ready. Get your entry fee, your best neo noir suit or dress ready, and your best neo noir business cards. If you love L.A. neo noir , you MUST be ready for your close up with the Mr. DeMille of L.A. neo noir, L.A. NEO NOIR FILM, NOVEL, & SCRIPT FEST FIVE.

Note: There are absolutely no fee waivers or discounted entry fees of any kind for any reason available for this festival. If your entire film production team cannot raise $25 to enter this festival, we recommend you google search "free film festivals," and we invite you to save your money until you raise $25 so that you may be able to enter the 2018 LA Neo Noir Novel, Film, and Script Festival.
