Stonestreet Studios 1st Annual Film Festival is ON; entering the summer season with the celebration of our studio's incubation of socially conscious, character driven and culturally provocative content, we are open for submissions from independent filmmakers and screenwriters for DRAMA, COMEDY, HORROR and WILD CARD submissions.
Our independent, multi-purpose, visual motion picture production studio has played a hand in furthering the cultural landscape since its founding in 1990. Amid screening blocks, SSaFF will feature workshops in Lighting 101, Editing Tips, Writing Development and Directing the Actor, open to all, to continue furthering the development of emerging filmmakers and multi-hyphenates.
SSaFF creates a platform for emerging and independent filmmakers to be spotlighted in New York City, the heart of East Coast entertainment.
Profanity, reference to violence, subversive or dysfunctional behavior and intimacy must not be gratuitous, but character specific and responsibly explored and integrated throughout the narrative.
