Dedication

SIMIFF is dedicated to promoting and highlighting the distinctive creativity and cinematic contributions of filmmakers from across the globe. We understand your aspirations as a filmmaker go well beyond a single screening. The festival events that you’ll have access to as a filmmaker are designed to propel your career forward in a meaningful direction.

Jury trophies will be awarded to feature and short competition films in a variety of genres and categories, including First-Time Filmmaker and our Ventura Film Award for locally made films. Selections and awards are determined by a trusted panel of industry judges. We recognize under-represented elements of filmmaking as movies are made by a team of talented professionals. Our awards include best Makeup & Hair, Stunts, Music Placement, Creativity & Originality among other categories. Nominees and award winners will be celebrated with a closing Awards Show ceremony at the conclusion of the festival.

Visiting for the First Time?
Visiting a club is an exciting first step in reaching your goals. There’s no need to feel pressure to participate at your first club meeting – you can simply observe if you wish. And since every club is unique, it’s OK to visit several clubs before you decide to join the right club for you. Have a great first meeting!
How Do I Join?
Joining is as easy as 1-2-3!
Step 1:
Visit the Toastmasters club

You may wish to visit more than once. Visits are free and you may return as often as you like.
It’s a good idea to call or email in advance to confirm a group’s meeting time and location.

Step 2:
At the meeting, ask the President or the vice president membership for a membership application and fill it out. New membership application can be found under the New Membership Application or on the Free downloads tabs.
Step 3:

Give your application and dues to the President or to the vice president membership at the club.
Once you are voted in by the existing membership, the club officer will send your application and fees to Toastmasters’ World Headquarters.
Your New Member Kit should arrive in the mail in about two weeks (kits outside of the U.S. may take longer).

It’s as easy as that!

Rancho Simi Trail Blazers Hike: Mt. McCoy Trail
2024-06-30 09:00 - 11:00 | Donut Delite, 1464 Madera Rd # A, Simi Valley, 93065, United States
Moderate 3 miles RT with 675’ of elevation gain/loss.
We will hike up via a series of switchbacks to an isolated knoll in a 200-acre open space region at the western end of Simi Valley. At the summit (1,325′) there is a white cross, erected in 1941 and a 360-degree view including Sinaloa Lake, Wood Ranch, the Bard Reservoir, the Simi Hills, and the Santa Susana Mountains. We’ll return the way we came.
Hike Leader: Mike Kuhn
On the western end of Simi Valley, Mt. McCoy is known as the hill with the large cross at the top. From the top of Mt. McCoy, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views in every direction, including views of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Wood Ranch, Old Boney Mountain and the Channel Islands (weather permitting). Cut under the direction of the Rancho Simi Trail Blazers in 1997, the trail leading the top is 1.5 miles long and climbs 675 feet. It contains switchbacks surrounded by coastal sage scrub, chaparral and other vegetation. This is a mild hike and is great for all ages. From the top, there is a dirt track extending south toward the Presidential Library as well as a dirt trail extending north, down the mountain, to connect with Tierra Rejada Road. The Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District owns 200 acres surrounding Mt. McCoy.
Well behaved, leashed dogs are always welcome.
Note: Hike canceled on holidays, if it rains, or if there is a Red Flag Warning in place.
PREPAREDNESS: Bring 2-3 liters/quarts of water (or other suitable liquid) and lunch/snack. Wear appropriate footwear (preferably hiking boots) and be prepared for bright sunlight (sunglasses), heat (layers of clothing), and/or precipitation (rain gear). Hiking pole(s) and a camera might come in handy.
NOTE: At the beginning of each outing you will be required to read and sign a liability release form (a sign-in sheet).
DIRECTIONS TO THE STARTING POINT OF THE HIKE:
Take Hwy 118 to the Madera Road exit in Simi Valley.
Head south 1.4 miles on Madera Road to just before its intersection with Royal Avenue (there’s a traffic light at the intersection).
Turn left (east) into the strip mall parking lot in the northeast quadrant of the Madera Road/Royal Avenue intersection and park near the Donut Delite store.
Wait for the hiking leader(s).
NOTE: This will be the starting point of the hike because there is very little parking space at the Mt. McCoy Trail trailhead (and the trailhead is within a short walking distance of our starting point near Donut Delite).
DISCLAIMER:
The organizer(s) or leader(s) take no responsibility and will not be held responsible for any injuries or accidents that may occur during any Rancho Simi Trail Blazers Club (RSTB) hike/outing. These events can be inherently dangerous and accidents will happen.
By participating voluntarily you are taking responsibility for your own safety and well-being.
