Hollywood Series
Established legitimate festival
I couldn’t verify a widely established festival specifically known as the "Hollywood Series" film festival in Los Angeles from the provided results. The closest matches are Los Angeles–based independent festivals such as Film Festival at Hollywood Park and the Hollywood Film Festival, which are notable for screening diverse independent features, documentaries, and shorts, often emphasizing premieres, underrepresented filmmakers, and work outside the studio system.[1][6][10]
