Where are you heading this summer? Palm Springs will be the perfect place if you're a film buff. This favorite desert getaway for many Hollywood stars is hosting the 29th Palm Springs International ShortFest.
The Festival is an excellent launching pad for talented filmmakers trying to break into the movie industry. For film fans, it's a fun side activity while checking out real estate properties in the city.
Top 3 Essential Details of Palm Springs International ShortFest
Accommodation in Palm Springs
Do you prefer luxury or a laid-back ambiance? Finding a place to stay that suits your tastes is easy. The Festival has a host hotel and partner hotels, all with great amenities and facilities. You can also look into charming bed and breakfasts or longer-term house rentals.
Having a home away from home can make your vacation stress free.
Palm Springs Real Estate Market Watch
As of this writing, selling a home in Palm Springs takes an average of 47 days. Of course, you should know that month-on-month average sale time differs since the real estate market can be volatile. That lovely house you have spotted could be off the market in less than a month!
Fortunately, you can still find better properties with my help. Contact Geoffrey Moore, and I'll point you in the right direction.
Types of ShortFest Access
Do you want to attend parties as well as screenings? You should get the Patron Pass, which provides reserved seating and access to all events (except those exclusive to filmmakers). It also includes a complimentary pass to the Virtual Best-of-Fest, which airs from July 7-13.
The Insider Pass offers general seating and access to some events. College students can also get a pass for general seating and access to forums and classes.
