New Jersey Web Festival

As a fiction podcaster it is hard to find a place to meet other like minded passionate creators and celebrate our art together. There truly is NO OTHER place as receptive to new people, bold in their support of each other and supportive of each other’s successes. Collaboration is a KEY focus of most conversations, focusing on elevating strengths and not simply highlighting challenges. Neem and the NJ WebFest team treat everyone like rockstars and because of that everyone shines a little brighter. This place is home to many people that freely share knowledge, experience and wisdom and for that alone it is priceless.

NJ Webfest was an incredible experience! The fest itself is full of good panels and great screenings in some beautiful venues. The creators involved were so friendly and there were a ton of opportunities to meet some cool new people. Neem, the festival operator, believes in the idea of this community being a family and it shows. He and the staff were so personable, I felt very welcome as an outsider from LA! Creators, this is the kind of fest you want to go to!!

My apology for the late review - I was sure I had posted this last fall (please blame it on the end of the travel ban with France which got me then a bit upside down!). New Jersey Web Festival is a wonderful venue. The hosting of Neem Basha and his team is exceptional. They love creators, and the whole atmosphere at the festival is very friendly. The event is meant to be a celebration of your work. I'm grateful and I was honoured that I DO the Pilot and then, two years later, the whole Season 1 were selected and nominated. I had a great time at the Festival, seeing series on a big screen, and networking with lovely creators in a warm and friendly space. The gala is spectacular, so is the Manor where it takes place. Congratulations and many thanks for having me!

From Christopher R. Owens, President, CESO Enterprises, Inc. crowens@cesony.com:

On behalf of CESO ENTERPRISES, INC., Alyssa Dann, Chris Oledude, and all of our production participants, I would like to compliment the organizers and operators of New Jersey Web Festival. When we created our first music video (which was long enough to be a short film), we knew nothing about film festivals. With the help of FilmFreeway, we started researching. The categories were good. Everyone who contacted us on behalf of this festival was helpful. The submissions looked excellent.

It was indeed exciting to discover this new world and to be so warmly welcomed by the inhabitants! To have GEORGE FLOYD: SAY THEIR NAMES selected for inclusion was an honor in and of itself.

We were happy to “get the word out” and continue motivating people worldwide to consider the injustices embedded within our nation’s criminal justice system. After all, situations where a powerful segment of the population uses its law enforcement apparatus to abuse and oppress other segments of the population are recognizable in and common too many societies.
We recommend submitting your work and we certainly intend to participate again in the future.

Peace and stay safe!

I cannot say enough good things about NJWF, Neem and founders. Pre festival communication allowed for filmmakers to feel the excitement of the festival approaching, and really feel part of a community. The festival truly supports their artists. The festival itself was amazing, from the screenings and networking to the stunning awards reception. The reception was outstanding, and such an amazing way to end the festival. It also created such good energy and joy amongst all the artists , and will definitely remain a very happy memory on the festival scene, especially now. Cannot thank NJWF enough for selecting our work and look forward to bringing new work to this special community.
