Watch Coast Film Festival Features Through Thanksgiving Week

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — This Thanksgiving Weekend, there is a new way to experience brand new feature films from the comfort of your home. Enter Coast Film Festival. This is a rare look at Southern California filmmakers who focus on inspirational outdoor lifestyles, action sports and cultures from the mountains to the sea.

The watch-at-home feature film series includes more than 55 films 14 hours of original content, including filmmaker and athlete question and answer sessions.

“With the escalation of COVID restrictions and Thanksgiving Holiday upon us, we thought extending the film festival another week would give people the opportunity to watch at home together with their families during their time off,” said Ben Warner, Co-Founder of Coast Film Festival.

Celebrating their second year of showcasing films that focus on the natural world around us, CFF planned this year’s event with both on-site and online programming so fans could take part according to their personal comfort levels. The in-person portion of the festival took place over three nights on the grounds of The Ranch at Laguna Beach, and the on-demand watch-at-home series will now run through November 29th.
