Event History

INFLUX Magazine was founded in 1997 and has long supported and championed independent film. The INFLUX Magazine Film Awards has been an ever-evolving process.  We began as the lead partner of the SoCal Film Market which later became FlipsideTV. Ultimately, we branched off and turned to our own event, which was first called INFLUXPalooza and ultimately, now the INFLUX Magazine Film Awards. We have additionally supported, attended and participated in numerous festivals throughout our publishing history.
