Founded by Festival Director Ron Truppa, Catalina is known as "Hollywood's Island", as it is the only west coast resort island in the United States, situated in Los Angeles County. This non-profit organization and international film festival focuses on independent film but also helps support the host island through its philanthropic efforts and beneficiary, the Catalina Island Conservancy. As protectors of 88% of the island's natural habitat, the Conservancy is not only credited with the quickest recovery of any endangered species in the world, the Catalina Island fox, but it also takes care of all the plants, marine life and wildlife on and around the island. The Conservancy gives out its honor at the film festival, the ISLA Earth Award, focused on drawing attention to filmmakers and films that educate or project a message of conservation.
