Connecting Festival Stories with Hollywood Prospects in Twentynine Palms.

Introducing "Shoot in 29 Palms," an initiative tailored to bridge festival stories ripe for adaptation with Los Angeles-based development executives and agents eager to explore new storytelling avenues.

With a dedicated focus on fostering meaningful connections, our aim is to host a select group of entertainment executives, granting them exclusive access to authors and rights holders attending the two-day festival. These literary properties are primed for screen adaptation, offering a wealth of creative potential.

Prior to the festival, information about selected books will be shared, providing essential details such as story overviews, adaptation rights terms, and location options. Interested producers will receive VIP treatment, including personalized meetings with rights-holders and an exclusive guided tour of Twentynine Palms.

Situated amidst a burgeoning talent pool, Twentynine Palms offers short-term accommodations, diverse landscapes, and proximity to Los Angeles, making it an ideal destination for filmmakers. Enriched by its unique desert landscape adjacent to Joshua Tree National Park and a culturally diverse community blending Native American, Mexican, and Anglo influences.

The festival's closing party, "Hollywood Meets the Desert at Mas o Menos," will provide a dynamic platform for producers, agents, and entertainment executives to connect with authors and local production talent.

The first 10 entertainment executives to confirm their attendance will enjoy a complimentary hotel night in one of Twentynine Palms' esteemed establishments, enhancing their experience and allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the creative ambiance.
