Gregg Schwenk, Creator, Newport Beach Film Festival

We're so excited about this year's Newport Beach Film Festival from October 16-23, featuring over 100 film and 250 shorts from 32 countries. The festival opens with a screening of Richard Linklater's "Blue Moon" starring Ethan Hawke, Margaret Qualley, Bobby Canavalle and Andrew Scott. The closing night film will include a screening of Guillermo Del Toro's "Frankenstein," starring Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Oscar Isaac & Christoph Waltz. And for the International Film category, the Italian film, "When Mom Is Away...With The In-Laws" is already said to be a show stopper. We will be speaking with the creator of the NBFF, Gregg Schwenk, who joins us to talk about what's become one of the industry's most exciting festivals, including some of the special events over the week-long event. Make sure to go on the website for details, but Gregg will give us an inside peek during our interview. Please join us on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast, and #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you. @newportbeachfilmfest @nbffitalianspotlight #newportbeachfilmfestival #nbff #nbffitalianspotlight #nbff2025 #italiancuisine
