Last night marked a series of firsts at the 2018 LA Film Festival. For the first time ever, the Festival kicked off with a documentary-part a special outdoor Opening Night event at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre, in the hills above Hollywood. It was the world premiere of Echo in the Canyon, Andrew Slater's chronicle of LA's famed Laurel Canyon music scene, tracing the music's roots from the hippie folk rock of the 1960s through the indie rock and pop of today.

Said Film Independent President Josh Welsh, in his opening remarks: "We've never opened with a documentary, or at the Ford." But the film itself was only the start of the evening's festivities.
