The Fifth Annual Coast Film & Music Festival kicked off Wednesday with a sold-out crowd of outdoor and adventure-film lovers eager to watch a special screening of "Wild Life," an eco-documentary highlighting the lives of conservationists Kris Tompkins and her husband, entrepreneur Doug Tompkins.
The Coast Film & Music Festival, founded in 2019, will screen nearly 80 films in its fifth year. Festival events will take place in Laguna Beach through Sunday.
