The Action On Film International Film Festival, also known as the Action On Film Festival, is a film festival currently held in Monrovia, California. It was founded in 2004, and it has been held in several different cities in California. Being a hub for many returning filmmakers each year, they have expanded as an Official Distributor to SHORTS.TV and they also program Feature Films at a number of Indie Theaters.
The Action on Film International Film Festival was founded in 2004 by Del Weston. After being disappointed by a bad experience, Weston sought to create a festival where filmmakers could showcase their films. It was first held in Long Beach, California as a part of the Long Beach International Martial Arts Championships. In 2008, it moved to Pasadena, California. In 2012, it was moved to Monrovia, California.
The festival accepts all major genres and is not limited to action films.
