Dances With Films laces up in L.A.

Independent festival to screen 100 films

By ANDREW STEWART

Independent fest Dances With Films will screen 100 pics from the U.S. and abroad during its June 4-11 run at Laemmle's Sunset 5 in West Hollywood.

Key to its indie feel, the festival requires competition films have no big-name actors, directors, writers or producers.

But as part of its lineup, the fest also will feature an alumni spotlight section, including Paul DeNigris' "Cowboy Dreams" with Bill Engvall; and Michael Madsen-Virginia Madsen starrer "Being Michael Madsen," helmed by alum Michael Mongillo.
