Cassidy Bartolomei- Co-Founder of the San Diego Halloween Film Fest
I had a lovely conversation with one of the Co-Founders of the San Diego Halloween Film Fest, and it was great to learn more about her artistry, the festival’s dynamic, and, of course, her other zeros.
The interview is available on our YouTube channel, but I am including it here too, along with more information on the event.
A cinematic catered costume party featuring killer independent films by local and national filmmakers! Eat, drink, and be…witched! for an all-inclusive price of $31!
Gather your fellow ghouls, ghosts, and film fanatics for a cinematic Halloween night under the stars at San Diego’s iconic Cinema Under the Stars!
