The Marina del Rey Film Festival was created in 2012 as an independent film festival

on the westside of Los Angeles. Jon Gursha and Peter Greene worked the

international markets for independent film distribution.  During this time they created

the Marina del Rey Film Festival to make a world class independent film festival for independent filmmakers. The idea started on a flight back from the European Markets and festivals in 2011 the festival was born.
