We’re heading to Coronado Island Film Festival (San Diego) on Sunday, November 9, 2025! What an epic location for a film festival; a place I regularly visited during summers growing up visiting family in San Diego. Hanging at the beach with its golden sand and lunches at Hotel Del Coronado, this is gonna be an epic return to the island. 🏝️🌊🎥
Coronado presents the hometown screening of our film director Eric Wolfinger, who grew up and currently resides in beautiful La Jolla.
Our film “Lisa Dahl: Blessed By Grace” is on quite a festival run with screenings at Indy Short International Film Festival where it won on July 26, 2025 the “Indiana Spotlight Award” and “Indiana Spotlight Audience Choice Award,” following its debut at the Sedona International Film Festival on March 1, 2025.
We just screened at Burning Man 2025 at Black Rock Cinemas at The Playa Film Festival in partnership with Cordillera Film Festival (Reno, NV), and we have upcoming screenings at Newport Beach Film Festival (greater Los Angeles) and Heartland Film Festival (Indianapolis, NY).
“Lisa Dahl: Blessed By Grace” shares the inspiring journey of chef and restaurateur Lisa Dahl, who turned personal tragedy into a thriving culinary career in Sedona, Arizona. After the devastating loss of her son Justin, who was murdered in the 1990s while helping someone in need, Lisa found healing through cooking. In 1995, she moved to Sedona and opened her first restaurant, Dahl & Di Luca Ristorante Italiano, as a tribute to their shared love of cooking. Over the next 30 years, she expanded her business to six acclaimed restaurants (Mariposa Latin Inspired Grill, Butterfly Burger, Cucina Rustica, and two locations of Pisa Lisa Wood Fired Pizza), each dedicated to preserving Justin’s memory.
