You're Invited To LAABS FanFilm Awards 2025

Celebrating the FanFilm Awards 2025, we are premiering Azure Lorica's first chapter: Los Angeles Anti-Bully Society (LAABS). In building this new chapter, this magnificent festival is being given to said chapter, and given an new name: 

LAABS FANFILM AWARDS

Since 2015, FanFilm Awards has been a service to independent filmmakers internationally. Set in Los Angeles County, we've moved our event between Downtown Los Angeles to Pasadena. We've rolled the carpets out for our guests, coming as close to Hollywood, CA and as far as Paris, France. With their support, our festival and award ceremony has reached amazing heights. 


Together, we reached FanFilm communities across the globe, and shared memories among both aspiring and accomplished artists in the past decade.

Culture of Duarte

Duarte is a city of health. From hiking to car races, the city is a place of activity. Their museums, dams, and gardens attest to their love of their small town atmosphere. The Historic Route 66 have remnants right through Huntington Drive, leading you to adjacent cities, like Arcadia and Alhambra - where Asian cuisine and boba tea reign supreme.


For those that love the road, their drive thru diners are available across their city. From Sonic to the Original Tommy's restaurant, your need for burgers and milkshake will be ready right at your drivers seat!

If you need a ride in Duarte, we recommend: LA City Cab
