New Yorkers, please clear your calendars for this amazing event!

This year is the 10th anniversary of the Media That Matters Film Festival.  This amazing organization has been spreading awareness about the critical social, political and environmental issues of our time through the power of independent film.  They’ve reached over 10 million viewers, and they’ve provided an important platform for young and emerging storytellers to have their voice heard on a global stage.  So if you’re in the area, please come out and support spreading awareness through the power of film.

The Media That Matters Film Festival is the premiere showcase for short films on the most important topics of our time.  Local and global, online and in communities around the world, Media That Matters engages diverse audiences and inspires them to take action.

From gay rights to global warming, the jury-selected collection represents the work of a diverse group of independent filmmakers, many of whom are under 21.  The films are equally diverse in style and content, with documentaries, music videos, animations, experimental work and everything else in between. What all the films have in common is that they spark debate and action in 12 minutes or less.

Just click here to reserve your tickets to the Premiere on June 2 at the School of Visual Arts…I’ll see you there!  And for those of you unable to attend, you can pre-order the DVD with all this year’s films here.
