Starting December 17th @ 12p, and continuing until they drop, Cinefamily will be Streaming Live on their website guests musical and otherwise, a cornucopia of contributions from filmmakers and animators from all over LA celebrating the Cinefamily we love, and all kinds of programming-in-public shenanigans. They guarantee to entertain your socks off, they will share with you everything they feel and all that they do to achieve their mission, and together we can all help with Cinefamily’s future and help it become real.
