What makes iHollywood Film Fest unique?
It’s all about the story, the experience and empowering storytellers.
We’re 2 festivals in one, iHollywood Film Fest and the I Am Awards, both are under the iHollywood Film Fest and awarded during the festival. iHollywood Film Fest judges films in a traditional manner with industry professionals. I Am Awards judges films based on energetic frequency. There are many crossovers and surprisingly or perhaps not so surprisingly our best films did well in both categories.
The 2023 iHollywood Film Fest is a multi-day festival celebrating storytelling.
Day 1: iHollywood Summit. Qualifying film pitches will pitch to film financiers. They’ll be in the same room and are able to meet mingle with them throughout the day.
Day 2: Movie, movies, movies.
Day 3: Movie marathon, FSD Fest (Fullerton School District), Film It West Covina, red carpet and awards

From 1997-2004 he painted huge scenic sets and floors for the music segments of “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno, making history as the first visual artist ever commissioned to create original scenic art. He also made basketball history in 1992 by painting a 6000 sq. ft. mural directly on UCLA’s center court at Pauley Pavilion for MTV’s Rock and Jock B-Ball Jam. His famous “Fear No Art” button has been sold continuously at LACMA since 1985 and was once carried in over 300 museums.
Miripolsky is the co-creator of Viva LA, the new iconic brand celebrating Los Angeles’ creative culture. In 2021, Miripolsky partnered with form-u.la to launch SharkTales Art, a new approach to communal art collecting and ocean conservation through edutainment, and his iconic painted sharks.
