“This is one of our best collaborative efforts yet” stated co-coordinator, Johanna Mathieson-Ellmer.

Collaborators and supporters include: The City of Long Beach Departments of Recreation and Parks and Youth and Family Services, Long Beach Public Library, Long Beach Surfers Association, Korduroy.tv, Artists in Partnership, Inc., the Long Beach International Film Festival, Legislator Denise Ford, and the Long Island Motion Picture Museum and Arts Center.
