Filmshop Presents Famous Last Words /
Leuca is helping our sound designer Ash with the final sound mix for our latest narrative short film. I’m excited to share another film tomorrow night at the Filmshop 10 year anniversary short film showcase at Rough Trade NYC. We hope to see you there!
Filmshop, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, is a non-profit film organization committed to developing new work through peer support and collaboration. Filmshop supports a community of about 250 filmmakers in NYC, New Orleans, and LA. Members meet weekly to workshop projects, offer constructive feedback, and incubate new ideas. Our fall season begins just after Labor Day. We are now accepting applications for the Fall 2019 season at www.thefilmshop.org/apply, and we will be holding an open house in July where you can learn more about our organization and meet current members.
Lighthouse International Film Festival /
Lighthouse International Film Festival was an incredible experience and is hands down one of my favorite film festivals. I had the opportunity to meet and learn from Guy Nattiv, Oscar winning director of Skin, and numerous other talented filmmakers and industry people. Some friends and fellow Filmshop members screened at LIFF and it was fun seeing so many familiar faces. My family also enjoyed attending the festival and my 8 month old daughter ate lobster for the first time, thanks to Charlotte and the rest of the crew at the hospitality house. I highly recommend the festival and will definitely be coming back. Thanks to the entire team at Lighthouse Intl FF for such a memorable and wonderful experience!

I met Guy Nattiv and attended his filmmaking masterclass. Guy won the Oscar this year for best live action short film for his short, Skin.
