Let's Make A Roosevelt Island Movie Short For On My Block NYC Neighborhood Film Project


Are you a novice or experienced filmmaker with a story to tell about Roosevelt Island? If so, consider participating in the On My Block neighborhood film project. According to On My Block:
“On My Block” is a film challenge that brings communities closer together by inviting filmmakers of all levels to create short narrative or documentary videos on their block using only their block’s residents as cast and crew.
and:
Although we live in a city of over 8 million people, a lot of us don’t even know our neighbors. When you’re not connected to the people living on the other side of the wall, it’s hard to have any sense of belonging within a community. “On My Block” creates an opportunity for neighbors to introduce themselves, work together, and create trusting relationships through the collaborative filmmaking process. The films created will live on past the festival window as a source for community pride and as a living map of the world’s most creative city.
Click here for more information about On My Block and Co-Founder Ryan O'Hara Theisen explains the project in greater detail below.



The deadline for submitting your film is October 31, 2012 and must be shot between August 1 and October 31.

Roosevelt Island does not really have street blocks in the traditional NYC grid model. I would think that any filmmaker would need to clarify what makes a Roosevelt Island block to participate in this project.

There are plenty of talented storytellers here on Roosevelt Island. For example, this 2008 Roosevelt Island Talking Elevator short film from Jeff Lee.

Hi there! I know this is kind of off topic but
I was wondering if you knew where I could find a captcha plugin for my comment form?

I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having difficulty finding one?

Thanks a lot!

I almost never leave a response, but i did some searching and wound
up here "Let's Make A Roosevelt Island Movie Short For On My Block NYC Neighborhood Film Project".
And I do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Could it be just me or does it appear like some of the responses look as if they are left by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing at additional places, I'd like to follow everything new
you have to post. Could you list of all of your social sites like your
twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
