This year, Cabo San Lucas will host the 11th annual Los Cabos International Film Festival. This festival was created with the goal of turning Cabo into a meeting point for American, Canadian, and Mexican film industries; where creative minds can come together, see what everyone else is working on, where the industry is headed, draw inspiration from others, and share current and future projects.
After so many years of drawing in big names like Jared Leto, Liam Neeson, and Ewan McGregor (and that's just in 2015!), this event has become one of the most waited for by locals and those that plan to come just for the festival. For a couple of years they went digital or hybrid, we're more than excited to see the event in person once again!
