The Party Filmmakers and film buffs alike danced the night away at the DC Shorts Film Festival Grand Bash to give out-of-town filmmakers a taste of capital-city nightlife at the U.S. Navy Memorial. The People Festival Director Jon Gann hosted the cabal, while DJ Adrian Loving spun tunes all evening. Guests mingled, hoping to bump into—or be identified as—the next hot Hollywood director. Best In Show Rain pushed partiers from the plaza to the Navy Memorial museum, where they sipped handcrafted cocktails created by local mixologist Gina Chersevani and traded gossip about the international film circuit.Photography by Greg Lawler
