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.

    I was so glad to have my film Bad Dog be part of this wonderful festival! The Wavestock staff was very welcoming and this event does a lot to support local artists. I would definitely attend again.

    Mark O'Brien and his Wavestock staff run a unique and fun filled festival. The venue is perfect for networking with other filmmakers and everyone is made to feel welcome. Communication was excellent from start to finish. I highly recommend this festival.

    This was one of the most entertaining festivals I've ever been to. Mark O'Brien and the Wavestock staff were very entertaining, hospitable, and respectful of the artists there. I recommend any filmmaker from the trip-state area to submit to Wavestock. You won't be disappointed.
