J+A Productions is proud to be part of the Hollywood Film Festival's core team as it reimagines what Hollywood, the film capital of the world, is and could be.

At the 2017 Jury Class Honors Ceremony at Paramount Studios on Saturday, December 2nd, the intentions of the festival and its goals were announced. The Hollywood Film Festival's CEO, Brad Parks, expressed the festivals commitment to empower filmmakers that produce films with great impact, innovation and inspiration. This led to the announcement of the upcoming 2018 Hollywood Global Grand Jury Competition. The Hollywood Film Festival is shifting gears and redirecting the concept of the traditional film festival to an 'initiative' (more than an 'event') that celebrates film and filmmakers year round through an ongoing global series of film screenings and events, as it seeks to find Hollywood's next great filmmaker. 

And so it is that J+A Productions is proud to play a key role in molding the festivals vision into a reality. From designing the new Hollywood Film Festival website and developing individual film pages to conducting filmmaker outreach for an upcoming interview series, J+A Productions owners/producers, Jack and Allié McGuire, have been integral in HFF's initiatives - including the production of the Honors Ceremony presentation and the orchestration of which while working side by side with the Paramount team to project the evening's visual elements on one of Hollywood's most famous screens at Paramount Theatre.

​On Saturday, December 2nd, Jack and Allié will walk the Red Carpet at the Hollywood Film Festival 2017 Jury Class Honors event at Paramount Studios in Hollywood. Honorary Chair, Ed Asner, will be recognized, as his new film In Vino, with co-star Sean Young and director Leonardo Foti is screened.

Sipping With The Stars will be produced by J+A Productions, as Jack and Allié tip back on the Red Carpet with a few of their favorite brands. Stay tuned for realtime coverage and a photo series.

On November 1, 2017, Jack and Allié McGuire were named as ambassadors for the Hollywood Film Festival (HFF).

In addition to representing the festival, they will also be producing content, as Jack and Allié accepted their roles as Official Bloggers for HFF. They will be interviewing independent filmmakers featured by HFF and sharing their stories online.

In addition to publishing content, Jack and Allié will also be participating in events - the first of which will be on the red carpet in Hollywood in December at Paramount Studios.
