ABOUT US
1983 STAR WARS MAKES THE COVER OF ROLLING STONE!
The Forest Moon Festival grew out of a passion for film and love of our beautiful region, and all it has to offer. It began with the vision of the Humboldt • Del Norte Film Commission, to embrace one of the great film franchises of all time, STAR WARS and it's choice to cast our region as the Forest Moon of Endor-- the home of the Ewoks, some 40 years ago!
Our hope is that by inviting fans of all ages to come see the stunning filming locations featured in STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE JEDI and attend screenings of the film, it will also give them a chance to discover all the Redwood Coast has to offer in natural beauty, hospitality, arts, and culture.
The Forest Moon Festival team comes from backgrounds in film, theater, and art-- And we are thrilled to work with businesses, pop-ups, events, and community partners throughout Humboldt and Del Norte Counties, who are creating their own little corner of the STAR WARS universe!
Our team is led by the Humboldt • Del Norte Film Commissioner, Cassandra Hesseltine and Deputy Director Anibal Polanco. Tiffany Miller Designs is serving as the event producer.
