The success of our first New York Film Academy/Independent Feature Project summer screening at the Union Square Campus in New York City was obvious when approximately 75 members of the film community joined our students in sharing their short films, documentaries, and music videos. Our classrooms functioned as micro-cinemas where Directors, Producers, Documentarians, Screenwriters and Film Composers could display their works.
The screening doubled as a mixer with a networking atmosphere where old and new members of the industry could converge to share ideas, talk business and discuss opportunities for future collaborations.
The mood was celebratory as the independent film community announced that
it is alive and kick in.
Our partner in this event, IFP, has evolved into the nation’s oldest and
largest organization of independent filmmakers and also their premier
advocate. Since it’s start, IFP has supported the production of 7,000
films, and providing resources to more than 20,000 filmmakers’ voices that
otherwise might have not been heard.
These screenings are exclusive to NYFA students and IFP members. We
encourage and hope to see you all at our upcoming event Fall 2008!
