Hello Filmmakers and HollyShorts fans! Welcome to the 12th annual 2016 HollyShorts Film Festival! On behalf of the entire HSFF team, Theo Dumont, Nicole Castro and I would like to thank you for attending our event. We feel that the quality of submissions this year hit an all time high for our festival and we look forward to attendees enjoying the programmed films. To go with the screenings, we have planned a number of networking parties and panels that are exceptional and will go a long way to ensure that filmmakers and attendees walk away from the festival experience that is like none other in Los Angeles. To go along with that, we are proud to welcome Bitpix to the HollyShorts family! Enjoy the best of HollyShorts films during our online festival run on Bitpix, to go along with our annual subscription pass to see the best in short films from all over the world, all year round on Roku and Amazon Fire TV. Again, thanks for attending and participating in the 2016 HollyShorts Film Festival! Regards, Daniel Sol, Theo Dumont, Nicole Castro and the entire HSFF family www.hollyshorts.com @hollyshorts

Kenneth Kokin’s BLOOD MOON Written by Nicholas Kazan. Starring James Callis, Maya Kazan, Frank Medrano
Blood Moon is a story of seduction, retribution, and innocence lost. The film explores the transition from a perky, pretty teenager to someone who is forever warped from abuse. Blood Moon asks the question: when a man’s casual approach to sex turns ugly, how far will a woman go to avenge herself? /3
