Program Description

After running many special screenings and events at the Brightside Tavern, we decided to create an official screening series. This will be one night events with a feature film alongside short films, for an evening of films and networking.

We offer a fun relaxed festival atmosphere, showcasing quality films and screenplays, while offering networking opportunities in a fun upbeat setting. The diverse array of films, selected by a committee, includes features and shorts from all genres, as well as documentaries and music videos. The screenings are followed by Q&A sessions with the filmmakers. The festival is hosted in Jersey City New Jersey; with an after party following the screenings, that includes networking for actors and filmmakers.

Our festival will be a one night event, with films screening in the screening room of the Brightside Tavern in Jersey City. Following the screenings will be a chance for filmmakers and actors to mingle, followed by an after party.
