Linear, a provider of residential and commercial access control and security, health and wellness solutions, announces its sponsorship of the first ever La Costa Film Festival, billed by organizers as, “…a unique, cultural event that enhances our appreciation of the arts, and establishes not just our community, but all of North County [San Diego] as an entertainment hub.”

Linear has been operating in Carlsbad since the company re-located in 1984 and currently employs close to 300 residents of the area. In addition to a financial sponsorship that will help fund the inaugural La Costa Film Festival, Linear has donated marketing and volunteer support to help promote the event to a wider audience and give employees the opportunity to participate in a fun, community-building event that also supports a great cause.

We’re looking forward to a world-class event that will showcase the best of Carlsbad.”

Details on the venues, parties, films and celebrity guests attending the festival are coming soon. Local businesses interested in sponsorships or volunteering can find all the information they need at LaCostaFilmFestival.org.

“We are thrilled to welcome Linear as one of our founding patrons, who share our vision and commitment to our community. With the involvement of our fine local restaurants, award-winning craft brewers and boutique wineries, we will bring widespread recognition to the best that our area has to offer,” said Ruby Callihan, festival co-founder. “We have already selected some incredible films and will soon be ready to announce the details. We see the Carlsbad community embracing this festival as a highly anticipated annual event.”

  • A food drive for the San Diego Food Bank that raised over 6,000 lbs. of non-perishables;
  • A Habitat for Humanity “Building for the Brave” project to support wounded veterans; and
