The annual Wavestock Film Festival brings artists and the audience into an immersive day saturated with aesthetic pleasures, great food from local food trucks, masterfully crafted beer from Flagship Brewery, music of local musicians and DJ's and an all day Film Festival situated in Flagship's brew room transformed into large screen movie theater. It's a great day for everyone and every year it increases in attendance and quality content. We at Sitewave and Crossfire take pleasure in bringing this all day celebration of the arts to the Staten Island community. Please join us for this day of drinks, food, films, and fun.

  • Couldn't be happier with the incredibly fun day of live music and films that Mark and the team cooked up. Honestly, we made a bunch of new friends from other local filmmakers to even some of the people manning the stalls outside.

  • Had the great pleasure in screening my film "Victor!!" at Flagship Brewery which serves as a cool venue of film, live music, and art. They put in the effort to promote all the films and make a fantastic day out of it.
