The 25th Newport Beach Film Festival took time this weekend to recognize numerous industry standouts and award winners. Those honorees included the ten performers named to Variety’s 10 Actors To Watch.
Ella Hunt, who appears in the just-released “Saturday Night,” was one of this year’s Actors To Watch — and one of the attendees for Sunday’s brunch at Balboa Bay Resort. Hunt also gained recognition for appearing in “Dickinson” and the “Horizon: An American Saga” films.
This year’s other Actors to Watch include Monica Barbaro, Zoe Chao, Ryan Destiny, Karla Sofia Gascon, Fred Hechinger, David Jonsson, Josh Rivera, Drew Starkey, and Toby Wallace.
