What started as a sunny day turned into a very \u2018starry\u2019 celeb-focused night at the San Diego International Film Festival\u2019s<\/a> Oscar Viewing Party. <\/p>\n

The event was spectacularly held at the former Junior and Gina Seau mansion high atop Mount Soledad. The expansive estate (for sale) allowed for a full supporting crowd of Oscar-dressed revelers, all there to support SDIFF\u2019s FOCUS mission for student education to enhance their exploration of issues through film. <\/p>\n

Toast of the night was Tonya Mantooth, CEO of SDIFF, a regional 10-time Emmy Award winner, whose bio is so lengthy I suggest a search online. Check my socials<\/a> for more photos.<\/p>\n
