The 3-day festival was full of shorts, features, music videos, experimental films and performances. Our film "Frantic Sketches" screened Saturday, Aug. 23 at 6pm. Also on August 31, our film will be screened at the Micro Theater in Pittsfield, MA as part of an Avant-Garde Experimental festival sponsored by No School Productions. More to come...

Papa B Show EXTENDED!

Great news! The opening for the show "I'm Still Here" at Papa B Studios in Bushwick was such a hit, that the show is being extended through July 25. The work is all local artists mostly from Brooklyn, and the pieces are for sale and go straight to the artist's pocket. So, if you're feeling extra generous, buy some art. Hope you all can make it, and for those who came out last night, I had a blast. Thanks for a great party!

Here's some pics from the show. My work and Seyhan Musaoglu's. enjoy!
