Joining him on stage are Dee Wallace (E.T.), Wolf Larson (TV’s Tarzan), Isaac C. Singleton Jr. (Transformers One), and acclaimed actor-impressionist Jim Meskimen (War of the Worlds), among other distinguished presenters.
The festivities kick off with an exclusive opening night reception hosted by Porsche of Woodland Hills, the festival’s Title Sponsor. Guests will then hit the red carpet for the west coast festival premiere of ‘Gunner’, an adrenaline-fueled action thriller starring Luke Hemsworth and Morgan Freeman and directed by Dimitri Logothetis.
This cinematic event promises high energy, high stakes, and plenty of Hollywood heat. The three-day celebration concludes with a glamorous closing night gala and awards dinner at the exclusive Braemar Country Club offering guests an evening of elegance and sweeping views of Tarzana.
TZIFF is also honored to welcome back Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. (ERB), the legacy brand behind some of the most beloved characters in science fiction and adventure, including Tarzan of the Apes and John Carter of Mars. As part of the 150th anniversary of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ birth, TZIFF will host a heartfelt tribute to Ron Ely, TV’s unforgettable Tarzan. The tribute will be presented by Lou Ferrigno. In a moment of literary and cinematic pride, the prestigious Edgar Rice Burroughs Legacy Award will be presented to acclaimed author Kevin J. Anderson, celebrated for his work on the Dune saga alongside Brian Herbert.
