]]> WE ARE BACK!!! After a long and challenging year of COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns, we celebrated our return to in-person events last month the only way we know how — ON THE BIGGEST SCREEN IN NEW YORK CITY! What an amazing two nights they were as filmmakers, audiences, family and friends alike gathered in the hallways of the AMC Theatre Multiplex in Times Square to embrace each other with warm hugs and kisses for the first time in over a year and a half. Filmmakers and their team of collaborators came out in full force to join us for two celebratory, fun and exciting nights out at the movie theatre with Q&A panel discussions, media interviews, and live movie screenings. There were cheers, gasps, sighs, tears, laughter and all the emotions that only a live communal screening can produce. It was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!

 

Congrats to all the filmmakers and actors who made these nights possible and for participating in our 10 Year celebration of independent cinema and for supporting the greater New York Film and Arts Community! We couldn’t be more proud of your work and we are incredibly honored to have hosted your talents in such a magnificent and memorable way.

Yes, we’ll say it again proudly and with gusto WE ARE BACK! Special thanks to our amazing sponsors and partners JMR Rentals, UKW Media, Final Draft, BKLYN Commons, Screenblade, International Screenwriters’ Association, Meditative Writing, Brooklyn Brewery, Whats Your Issue Foundation, On The Scene Media, and No Rest for the Weekend.
