Bionic Buzz® got to cover the red carpet of the Kentucky Derby Fundraising Gala at a private Beverly Hills Estate that supported The Burbank International Film Festival. The Burbank International Film Festival is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. They produce a yearly film festival to promote films, filmmakers, as well as the creative art & entertainment communities. They organize a select number of fundraisers each year in preparation for the annual Film Festival held this year on September 8th – September 11th, 2022.
BIFF welcomes thousands of attendees whom view over 50 hours of programming at Burbank’s AMC 16 Theaters and enjoy networking, dinner and acceptance speeches at the Awards Show held in the Burbank Marriott Convention Center. Donations from ticket sales raise needed funds to secure film screening and award gala venues in addition to building awareness for the festival.
The Burbank International Film Festival is in its 14th year and becoming more & more popular. All donations have the added benefit of being tax-deductible. We see our donors as valuable community partners in our mission to promote filmmakers from around the world in the creative arts.
On the red carpet Bionic Buzz’s own Jackie Lewis got to interview Kurt Patino (President of the Burbank International Film Festival), Eric Roberts (Actor from The Dark Knight & The Expendables), Matthew Payne (Actor and Producer), Naomi Rose Pfyl (Actress from After Hours and Date Doctor), Renee Pea (Counsul General of Croatia), Cosimo Pizzulli (Actor from Dreamland: La terra dei sogni), Paloma Rush (Musical Artist), Gato Scatena (Producer), Charlotte Hendrickx (Actress and Producer), Lauren Ash (Actress from Chicago Party Aunt and Superstore), Kelly Schumann (Actress from Hot in Cleveland and Superstore), Kelly Stables (Actress from Two and a Half Men and Superstore), James Pax (Actor from Big Trouble in Little China and Invasion U.S.A.) and Joycelyne Lew (Actress from Vampires vs. Aliens and Amityville Uprising).
