As we near the end of #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, we want to remind everyone that awareness doesn’t end in October. Please keep in your minds and hearts those we lost to #breastcancer, those who survived but struggle with the memory, and the loved ones who were alongside them 💞 #fckcancer

Thank you Carol Ann DeMarco for your wonderful review on FilmFreeway! #FeelTheMagic
A woman in a formal black gown with a sparkling silver shawl smiles while holding an NJ WebFest trophy. Behind her, a large projected screen displays a laurel wreath graphic with the words “Award Winner New Jersey Web Fest 2024, The Gala” and the award title “Outstanding Sketch Comedy.” “Excellent festival! Exactly what a film festival should be! The team treats you like family - and those are not just words - they really do! They take the time to make each aspect of the festival personal, celebratory, and special. From the moment they do a live announcement of the selected projects, throughout the entire process ending with a Gala that really has that wow factor. They celebrate independent filmmakers and you can see that with their hands-on presence from start to finish, photo ops, after parties, the venues they choose, and the award Gala - it was such a fun experience for us! Thank you NJ Webfest for all that you do!"
