The Blacklist Art & Film Festival is a celebration of the emerging talents and unknown innovators of Art, Film, & Rock n' Roll. This event is operated by local San Diego artists and filmmakers Jeff Speed, Chris Speed, Andy Quirk, and Jason Coffey in an effort to inspire the next wave of artists with fearless and unconventional content. Over the past five years The Blacklist Staff has produced numerous successful events in Lake Tahoe, CA. and Las Vegas, featuring 72 award winning short films and over 90 individual artists. Thanks to the generous local sponsors and supportive communities The Blacklist continues to progress towards a greater cause: encouraging the creation of independent and original art.
