Member Screening: We hope you’ll join us for the first virtual edition of the NYWIFT Member Screening Series this coming weekend when we show Michele Remsen’s “anti-romantic comedy” Toss It! The film is a recipient of the NYWIFT Nancy Malone Marketing and Promotion grant. We look forward to sharing more member films with you virtually soon – so stay tuned!
State of the Industry: We’ve had quite a few insightful posts on our blog about the entertainment industry during COVID-19, from interviews with indie/art house organizations implementing new initiatives, to seminar recaps, to personal coping strategies. We hope you’ll check it out.
Emergency Resources: As a reminder, we have compiled the NYWIFT Emergency Resource Directory which continues to update daily. Please continue to check back and if you have suggestions to add please send them to us at communications@nywift.org.
