Focus Features Unveils FocusFest: A One-Day Immersive Film Festival at Universal Studios

Focus Features is bringing its legacy of bold, auteur-driven cinema to life with FocusFest. This brand-new one-day festival experience blends screenings, immersive environments, and fan-first programming.

The first-ever event will take place on Saturday, October 18, 2025, on the iconic Universal Studios lot in Los Angeles. Hosted by TikTok star and film influencer Juju Green (aka @straw_hat_goofy), FocusFest will highlight the studio’s eclectic slate of past and present hits while offering audiences a taste of the future.
