Our dear friends + festival alumni Brandon Jay + Gwendolyn Sanford tragically lost their home in Altadena from the Eaton Fire during the LA County Wildfires! We are saddened by their loss, as they have not only composed the most fantastic songs/score there but also lost the studio where that music was created - truly devastating situation for them, their 2 wonderful kids, dog and for the music and film community. Please DONATE if you can, no amount too small, all gifts are super appreciated. We send our love, strength and support to them in this time!
