The Creators of StreamFest
As filmmakers ourselves, we recognized that the traditional film festival model was no longer serving the creators, the audiences, or the content itself. It was scattered, exhausting, and lacked intimacy. So, we did what women do: we fixed it. We streamlined the chaos and launched the first-of-its-kind festival optimized for all forms of storytelling and streamertainment.
We created StreamFest to reimagine what a festival could be—modern, inclusive, and truly reflective of how we consume content today. It’s a curated, in-person experience that blends podcasts, series, films, and social content into one binge-worthy celebration. Think of it as a variety act at one large marquee theatre, spotlighting the artists we actually watch, follow, and laugh with. Let’s rediscover the power of shared experiences & human connection. Napa Valley is the finest location for hospitality, wellness, wine, and culinary experiences, making StreamFest a world-class destination.
We hope you will join us at StreamFest. April 23–26, 2026, in Downtown Napa.
