MOVIE MIXER – NYTFF

Friday, September 13th
7PM: T-MOVIE MIXER
Location: Cherry Grove Theater

Come mix and mingle with other trans filmmakers, actors and film creatives at this New York Trans Film Festival kickoff event. This event will be co-hosted by Trans Film Collective and Baby Teeth Film Festival, two Brooklyn-based trans film organizations that work to build community and uplift the work of trans filmmakers and trans film actors.

We welcome Morgan Sullivan (he/they) and Jude Schoenfeld (they/them) to discuss their work in creating opportunities for trans+ performers through advocacy and production with their organizations, Trans Film Collective and Baby Teeth Film Festival.

Join us for drinks, networking and a gorgeous sunset on the roof deck of the Cherry Grove Community House & Theater, before the New York Transgender Film Festival Friday Night Screening.

We would like to thank The Cherry Grove Archives Collection for providing NYTFF with the equipment and resources to produce our events throughout the weekend.

Thank you to Cherry Grove Community Association for allowing use of the historic Theater and to the "Unity Wine & Cocktail Bar" for providing drink service for the evening's events. Cash only bar.
