Echo Park Film Center

It's pretty cool when you stumble upon these type of resources in your own backyard. The Echo Park Film School was introduced to me by one of my favorite weekly e-zines, ArtSlant LA, EPFS is a non-profit organization that provides affordable multimedia rentals, video format conversion, adult + youth film education, and they also host film screening and festivals throughout the year. This is a volunteer run organization, and they are always looking for a few good men/women.

(Excerpt from ArtSlant LA) The Echo Park Film Center is a volunteer-run, media arts organization dedicated to educating and exposing the public to film and video arts in creative, inclusive, and affordable ways. They host events, screenings, and classes as well as providing rental opportunities. The space itself is understated and comfortable, offering a communal and welcoming atmosphere that compliments the organization’s aims. This is the kind of place you drive by and wonder about, but with ample street parking and the friendly and knowledgeable staff, it is well worth taking the time to stop by. Their nightly screenings and events are not to miss.
