Forbidden Zone: Live in the 6th Dimension

A few years ago, The Valley Film Festival was introduced to a really nice man, Valley resident, and Film Distributor: Jack Murphy!

Jack works tirelessly to make sure that the festival, our filmmakers, and our staff are introduced and represented correctly to the industry. And, if you need a restaurant recommendation in Cannes, he can help you with that too! If you have a question, we'll pass it on. Really!

We're gushing about Jack today because a film he represents, the cult classic FORBIDDEN ZONE is coming to a stage near you!

Forbidden Zone: Live in the 6th Dimension will have its World Premiere at Sacred Fools Theater Co this spring. On April 1st, you can rub elbows with Richard Elfman, who directed the movie, at the gala fundraiser.

Please spread the word and let us know if you're attending! We look forward to meeting you.
