The underground “Natural Born Artists” from the RAW group will host their first-ever short-film festival at the Bootleg Theater in Echo Park this Sunday. A note for L.A. indie-film fans: a positive turnout could very well make the Raw Film Festival a regular event.
RAW is an L.A.-based group made up of artists in film, music, fashion, photography, and makeup disciplines with chapters reaching around the world. “Directors” of various regions bring together the area’s up-and-coming talent for local showcase events.
Over 40 “pop-ups” by indie filmmakers will be shown in four different sections on Sunday for “RAWFF”. According to TwitchFilm.com, the organizers are making an effort to keep it L.A.-based: 35 of the 40 featured filmmakers Sunday are from the area.

The Bootleg Theater is located south of Sunset Boulevard close to the intersection of Alvarado Street and Beverly Boulevard. Tickets for each of the four areas go for $15 and students can get in for $10. An all-access pass costs $35 and each ticket gives you entrance into the after-party.
