GSFF Executive Director Lauren Concar Sheehy says, “For the past 17 years, the Garden State Film Festival has been achieving its mission of promoting the art of filmmaking on all levels, and we’ve been having a blast doing it!” Sheehy enthusiastically invites anyone who enjoys movies and filmmaking to this year’s Festival. She ads, “This year we’re planning a lot more fun, and we’ll once again showcase amazing films by independent filmmakers from around the world. Plus, the Festival is a fabulous learning opportunity, too, where industry leaders share their knowledge and skills at our workshops and events.” The Festival’s events are listed along with the complete film screening schedule on the Garden State Film Festival website at
