Support the local (NYC/New Jersey area) indie film scene!

Hoboken International Film Festival 2012

Yes I realize it's in Jersey City, despite it being called Hoboken. Last year it was in Teaneck, so I guess they figure "close enough."

A friend of mine has a hand in couple of short films in the fest. His co-producer wrote and directed two shorts in the Sunday evening programs. But check out the entire slate, should be...entertaining at least.

Or vice versa. I'm sure that has happened.

Ah hell, the area Beatle Fest does that!

Okay MAYBE they can let it slide with "NY Metro" but still. At least next year's Wresltemania and the 2014 Super Bowl, both to be at Metlife Stadium do have the decency to refer to the host "city" as NY/NJ.

Anyone in the Jersey City, NJ area that likes to support the local indie film scene? My cousin, and his co-producer whom had a film in the aforementioned festival, along with several other local New Jersey film makers are doing a screening of a bunch of their short films, including the debut of my cousin's latest short, at the Brightside Tavern in Jersey City on Thursday evening.

Should be a fun time.
