The February 2020 Film Festival was a sold-out Film Festival with submissions from twelve countries and filmmakers from more than eight states flying in for the Red Carpet Event. There was an array of Live Performances, Vendors, Organizations manning tables and a Community Awards Night. To attend click here
The interim Queens Borough President, Senator Leroy Comrie and Councilman Daneek Miller among others, took part in the February Red Carpet Festival which was held at the Jamaica Performance Arts Center, in Jamaica, Queens, NY. Featured on CBS and MSN live news, Executives from HBO, Netflix, Cinemax were in attendance along with many journalists from NYC publications including the Amsterdam News.
The October Virtual affair still promises an exciting 3 days your Comedic Host, Comedian Kareem Green, Industry Professional Judges (Queens native, Danielle Overton, Producer of Alban Hills; Cable Show Producer (3 Boroughs), B. Elise; Producer/Editor; Edmund Dorsey of Jyrah Productions, Dave Howard, PBS Producer, Senior Photographer, Mai Dror; Consulting Judge, Kavika, Filmmaker Guests and Executives from HBO and several Movie Studios.
Queens Underground offers a customized Live Platform where the Audience can watch along with the Judges, hearing commentary and responding to “chat” comments. With sponsorship low this year, the Festival is excited to have New Beginnings, Jamaica BID, The Service Place, the Long Island African American Chamber Of Commerce, Cultural Collaborative Jamaica, The Southeast Queens Scoop, the Queens Chamber Of Commerce and the Greater Jamaica Merchants Chamber Of Commerce offering much needed support, along with dedicated and returning Volunteers.
When asked why this Octobers Festival is special, Film Festival Director, Adrienne Whaley, explains, not only is our community vastly underserved, our talent (filmmakers, singers, dancers and poets) is forced to go out of the borough and/or out of state to participate in Film Festivals and similar events - as best explained by Senator Leory Comrie at the February Film Festival; our Red Carpet events provide a much-needed vibrant and all inclusive promotional opportunity for Filmmakers, artists, creatives, entrepreneurs and organizations which we do not have.
Additionally small businesses and most organizations are not typically included in Film Festivals, nor can most afford to air commercials on prime time TV, let alone on a cable station. Our Festival brings a pivotal platform to showcase their talents, products and projects. We cater to both newcomers as well as professionals.
Many of our filmmakers, performers and vendors are returning for a second and third time. We’re proud of our small accomplishments and we promise a new innovation for every Future film Festival.
