WHAT IS SEEN ON THE SCENE?
This is NOT your normal film festival. Our founder, Ms Peacherino, curates the experience through immersive Q&A, panel discussions, games and prizes, and a gorgeous reception. Our films connect audiences to independent artists who are the foundation of Hollywood. Join us for a day tailored for you and highlight our theme of community, cultivation, and connection.
This year's theme, "Reflecting Our Reality", highlights the one and only Kobe Bryant, champion and Oscar award winner for his short film, Dear Basketball. Following the historical strikes of 2023, filmmakers and creatives alike have been the epitome of perseverance and What We Watch is here to showcase our work.
Like Kobe Bryant said, "Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses.”
Year 1 attendees wanted more films, more panels, and more popcorn.
