Overview:
SummerFest—a one-day celebration of local film—returns August 21. All films will be available for both in-person screenings and streaming. There will even be a live party to meet the filmmakers on Friday, August 20, at the Garden Shed, featuring the wines of Cayucos Cellars.

- A reprise of favorite short films from the first years of the Cambria Film Festival.
