The Central Coast Entertainment Expo (CCEE's) mission is to celebrate cinema and promote media arts and entertainment on California’s Central Coast. We will do that through fun, engaging and entertaining films that spark inspiration or set our imagination free. 2022 was our inaugural year that will light the spark for many subsequent events to come.
ENTERTAINMENT EXPO PROGRAM
Surrounded by some of the greatest vineyards, beaches and cities in the world, the village of Arroyo Grande makes this an ideal location on the Central Coast to gather and share the love of entertainment creation. The CCEE will screen classic crowd favorites, feature local films, while also providing attendees with an insight into the industry through speaker panels, workshops, hands-on educational experiences and networking. The CCEE is design by and for working professionals and film fans to enjoy and have fun together.
STUDENT PROGRAM
Beginning the creative process at an early age is important and encouraging young film students to pursue their dreams is critical. The CCFS believes strongly in fostering and celebrating student filmmakers and will provide a special program for local student filmmakers at CCEE through the Central Coast Showcase and volunteer opportunities to support industry advisors with workshops and hands-on demonstrations. CCFS works closely with regional high-school and regional film programs teachers and professors to provide our students with unique and educational experiences.
