The 2020 Esmi Awards (2020)

Now in it's third year, The Esmi Awards is an annual celebration of excellence in the Inland Empire/Southern California stand-up comedy and creative community. The winners of The 2020 Esmi Awards Short Film Contest are announced in pre-recorded segments by various local stand-up comedians in an effort to keep the show going amidst the devastating effects of the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic. Hosted and directed by Esmarelda VillaLobos, she is joined by her friends in celebrating the achievements of filmmakers Stefanie Michele, Frank Martinez, and Nick Pelais.
