The Yucca Valley Film Festival weekend offers more than screenings — it is designed to give the community a chance to connect directly with the filmmakers visiting town. This year, once again, two special Meet & Greet sessions will bring local clubs together with featured speakers on stage.

Friday, November 8 – Meet & Greet with Robbi Robb (6pm)
Kicking off the weekend, Friday’s session will feature local musician and documentarian Robbi Robb, whose latest film Will & Silence explores the life and work of Joshua Tree artist Bobby Furst. Robb will be joined by the Supernova Stellar team to discuss the craft of documentary filmmaking.

Saturday, November 9 – Meet & Greet with Janey Hann (6pm)
On Saturday, the spotlight turns to Janey Hann, stunt performer for major studio and TV productions. Hann will be paired with the Yucca Valley High School Associated Student Body (TBC), giving attendees a behind-the-scenes look at how some of Hollywood’s most spectacular visuals are created.

Both sessions are free and open to the public, offering festivalgoers the opportunity to ask questions, share ideas, and gain an inside perspective on the artistic process.

Join us at the Yucca Valley Community Center and be part of the conversation.
