THE NEWSLETTER OF
THE FILMMAKERS CONNECTION
www.LONGISLANDFILM.COM
Hello All, It was great seeing you over the summer at LIIFE. Hope you had as great a time as we did.
We will let you know as soon as the next Filmmakers Connection Meeting is scheduled – in the meanwhile – here are some other events you may be interested in.
Here are a couple of events we hope you’ll join us for:
Tuesday, August 31 at Five Towns College, Room 215 – be our guest at the Nashville Songwriters Association meeting where the guest will be Russ Camarda – this is a free meeting!! Their blurb: “The Long Island NSAI Workshop is having a special meeting held jointly with the Long Island Film/TV Foundation's Filmmakers Connection. Our guest will be filmmaker and media producer Russ Camarda who will discuss his feature films “'Night For Day'” and '“Lower Than the Angels'” as well as the logistics of writing music for film. We really want to encourage all of you to attend because, besides being incredibly informative, this meeting will hopefully be the beginning of a connection for our members with Long Island Filmmakers Connection. We are inviting members of the Filmmaker’s Connection to attend, so come out and network.”
LIIFE will be part of the Long Island Fringe Festival at the Tilles Center (CW Post Campus in Greenvale) on Saturday and Sunday, September 25 and 26. Screening times will be noon – 3 pm, and 3 pm – 6 pm both days. Films to be screened include Sean King’s “This Mortal Coil,” Russ Camarda’s “Night for Day,” the Brennan’s “Video Guys,” John Lazzaro’s, “Hindsight,” Fred Carpenter’s, “Just Like Joe,” and Ralph Suarez’s, “Purgatory Comics.” There are a few more films we’re waiting approval on, and will send you the link when we have it. Screenings are $5 for members, $7 for the general public.
