Lady Monica Bacardi attends the 2023 ILBE Gala at Tatel, Beverly Hill’s.

The ILBE Gala was held on a lively Thursday evening at Beverly Hill’s upscale Tatel restaurant: organized by Dynamita Productions in association with Iervolino and Lady Bacardi Entertainment, the party celebrated the newly released films The Ritual Killer, the Oscar-nominated Tell It Like It Is, and Lamborghini: The Man Behind The Legend.

Actors and actresses from the films as well as international superstars — including Esha Gupta (Miss India International title of 2007), Vernon Davis (The Ritual Killer), Bernard Hiller (world-renowned acting coach), and Julia Creus (Merli on Netflix) — lined the red carpet and The Nerds of Color had the privilege of talking with them about everything from Oscar Season, trends in foreign films, switching careers and, of course, all things behind the scenes of the ILBE production The Ritual Killer.
