Drama Block 1: A Big Stage for Indie Voices
Time: 10:20 AM to 11:00 AM
Pass Access: All Passes & Friday Single Day Ticket
Location: Uptown Theatre | 1350 Third Street, Napa
At a traditional film festival, this is the moment you'd have to rush out of the theater, hop in your car, and race across town just to catch the shorts program—often tucked away in a small venue, struggling to find an audience, not at StreamFest.
Here, you get to stay present, sit back, and experience the incredible work of rising indie filmmakers—all in front of a full house. Our mission is to give these artists the platform they deserve, bringing their work to a larger, more engaged audience rather than letting them get lost in the shuffle.
It’s a seamless, curated experience—no running across town, no competing schedules—just a moment to discover powerful new voices in storytelling.

WAS I IN A CULT? LIVE PODCAST
Time: 10:20 AM to 11:20 AM
Pass Access: All Passes & Friday Single Day Ticket
Location: Uptown Theatre | 1350 Third Street, Napa
Let's face it. Cults are effed up. They're manipulative, psychologically abusive, outrageous and often soul crushing. But so is life at times, right? So, okay, you were in a cult. But your story doesn't end there. At least not on this show.
The award-winning Was I In a Cult? is a comedic documentary-style podcast featuring far-out, first-hand stories of individuals who were manipulated into a cultic environment and escaped to tell the tale. Using humor, these in-depth stories told by survivors (not victims) put stereotypes to shame and humanize the cult experience in a way rarely explored.
Hosted by Liz Iacuzzi and Tyler Measom, the podcast invites you to cry AND laugh. After all, as it’s been said, comedy is just tragedy plus time.
Exposing a wide range of cults, these are not stories of doom and gloom but uplifting tales, showcasing the resilience of the human spirit — and may even leave you asking yourself wait... Was I In A Cult?

At a traditional film festival, short-form comedy often gets tucked away in a small theater across town, playing to a fraction of the audience it deserves. You’d have to rush from venue to venue, hoping to make it in time—but not at StreamFest.
Here, comedy gets the spotlight it deserves. No running, no stress—just a full house, ready to laugh. We’re committed to giving rising comedic voices a bigger platform, where their work can be enjoyed by a real audience, not an empty room.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy a curated selection of hilarious, fresh, and bold short-form storytelling—all in one place, exactly how it should be.
