The Los Angeles Diversity Film Festival will return to the big screen this August. Save the dates: August 22nd - 24th, 2025. Visit LADFF.com to join the festival’s mailing list and stay current with venues and programs. 


On today’s episode of the Gimme Three Podcast, we revisit some of the greatest hits from LADFF’s 10-year history. 


  • First, a flashback to our interview with filmmaker Anna Baumgarten as she discussed her breathtaking feature film Disfluency
  • Adamma and Adanne Ebo joined us in 2019 to discuss the short film version of Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul. The film would later become a theatrically released feature film, executive-produced by Jordan Peele. 
  • Finally, composer Emily Greene discusses her incredible work on the feature film All The World Is Sleeping. 


All of these films screened with The Los Angeles Diversity Film Festival, so you don’t wanna miss this year’s event. LADFF.com is the place to go for more updates.
