Lights, Camera, Action! Get set for this Year’s Film Festival

The 4th Annual Cape May NJ State Film Festival will be held November 18 – 21, 2004 at the elegantly restored Congress Hall and the Frank Family’s Cape May Beach Theater.

The Cape May NJ State Film Festival is New Jersey’s premiere weekend film festival celebrating the best New Jersey films and filmmakers and has become one of the major festival venues on the east coast growing from 500 in 2001 to over 3,500 in 2003. Along the way, attendees have the pleasure unique to film festivals of meeting face-to-face with the directors, actors, producers, screenwriters, and composers who are the makers of these films.

One of the many highlights of the festival is the Gala Opening Night Ceremony where a prominent film artist is presented with the Governor’s Award for Outstanding Contribution to Film in New Jersey. Our past recipients include Robert Prosky, Susan Sarandon, and Billy Baldwin. Afterward, enjoy a screening of “Ocean City” a warm-hearted comedy filmed in Ocean City, Wildwood and Ventnor, NJ.

The Cape May Film Festival dedicates the first day of the festival to young filmmakers, offering free workshops with renowned filmmakers. South Jersey teens also have the opportunity to work one-on-one with seasoned film professionals and with professional equipment in a year round program of intensive workshops where they learn filmmaking from script to screen. For the last two years in a row, films produced by these young people have received national recognition with the prestigious National Student Television Award of Excellence for their PSA productions.
