  • Hey Film Family! My experience with Cinema New York has been great. As a relatively new independent filmmaker it's great having your work acknowledged, and recognized, by your peers. It's important to receive feedback as soon as possible, and this festival was very timely in it's communication to me. Definitely will be returning. Thank you. ROLL CAMERA!๐ŸŽฌ

    Cinema New York was very attentive to my film and helped make sure the technical issues were all cleared. I would have liked to be at the screening with them. They love film and love NYC and so do I as 1/3 of the film takes place there. It was a good match. They even recommended my film to other festivals. They care about their films and filmmakers.
