The Big Apple meets Hollywood at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival

Film festivals have often been perceived as the breeding grounds for both potential, upcoming artists and noted artists in the film industry – with movies created by filmmakers hailing from around the world presented with as much skill and effort as put in by their major corporate counterparts.

New York International Independent Film and Video Festival

China Club

Event Producer Renata Lorenc with Host and Film Threat Magazine Actor to Watch Russ Russo It was a night of thrilling artistic integrity, budding young talent and questionable cocktails at this year's New York International Independent Film and Video Festival at the China Club.

The NYIIFVF was founded in 1993 by Stuart Alson, whose goal was to give unknown directors, actors and producers a chance to have their work be seen, without having to go through the red tape that other festivals such as Cannes, Tribeca and Sundance have become known for. That is not to say, however, that there is no screening process. And according to event producer Renata Lorenc, the festival has also turned into a strong venue for films and documentaries about important social issues. With over 250 features, shorts, animations and documentaries from over 60 countries, the NYIIFVF can boast to being the most diverse festival of its kind.

Curventures Fashion Show: AmaZe Magazine Winter 2005

AS REAL AS IT GETS…

“Be realistic!” How many times have we heard that reprimand from someone trying to curb our enthusiasm or manage our expectations?

Big confession: that admonishment makes my spine cringe. I have always been a big dreamer, especially while I am awake. If you combine aspiration with perspiration, the reality is that you can make a difference if you stay the course, and sometimes creating a new reality eventually has everything to do with being ‘unrealistic.’ I used to say, 'I sure hope things will change.' Then I learned that the only way things are going to change for me is when I instigate the change. If we listened to reality, we’d believe that fashion is for thin people and there is no Santa Claus. To quote John Sebastian, “Do you believe in magic?” Well, all I can say is that overcoming reality often leads me to learning experiences both delightful and daring.
