 Greetings!




Thank you to our sponsors especially our presenting sponsor  The Asbury Park Press most especially Tom Donovan and their ever so wonderful Gina Longo , our gracious venues, our partner inns, our venue Czar and Czarinas, our army of volunteers and most of all our wonderful Board to have made the most wonderful event in our long history a reality.

 

We set the tone on Thursday Night , continued with the Gala cocktail party and first screening, which we have to give a shout out to our dear friends at the Fort Lee Film Commission for providing the Red Hook Ramblers and their score for the silent film they recently restored.

 


Thank you to all the filmmakers that shared their enriching films, our wonderful honorees, Diane Ladd, James Rebhorn and Kristine Sutherland for sharing with us their precious time and wisdom. Mr. Tom Hayes our best ever Honorary Chair- person was supportive beyond measure.

And a special thank you to our dear Lori Draz who wrote that unbeatable song" One Light" for the benefit to be used for tourism with the film we shot that night and who also M.C.'d last nights awards dinner so beautifully.

This was by far the most fun I have ever had and I guess we will now get started doing it all over again for next year!

Stay Tuned!
