I am very grateful to be invited back to The Hoboken International Film Festival for the third year in a row! I love the festival and all the unique films they have highlighted. Last year I was able to view may of the films ands enjoyed most of them, especially the documentary of the fire at Seton Hall University.
The two events I will be volunteering music and DJ services for at The Hoboken International Film Festival are the two main attractions: The Filmmakers Reception & Opening Night Screenings on June 1, 2012 and The Gala Awards Ceremony on June 7, 2012. Both events attract a significant number of celebrities and local actors, as well as the foreign filmmakers and actors. The tow previous years I have had the opportunity to meet several celebrities but meeting Robert Loggia has been the most exciting for me so far.
I can’t lie; my brief meeting with Filmmaker and Actor Deidre Lorenz was also a highlight. She is a talented, intelligent, caring and gorgeous star on the rise!
