A number of my friends, students and colleagues are participating in this year’s RipFest and I hope you’ll take the time to support this amazing endeavor.
See you there!
About RipFest:
Since 2002, RIPFEST has provided an outlet for some of New York and LA’s brightest filmmaking and theatrical talents, allowing both established and up-and-coming artists to collaborate on professional-quality short films over a 16-day process. RIPFEST is a unique collaborative filmmaking project that allows filmmakers the freedom to do what they do best – just make films.
While other quick filmmaking projects try to churn out lots of short films in just hours, RIPFEST brings together a carefully selected group of professional and emerging film and theater talent to collaborate on high-quality, original short films, and gives them the process and support that they need to make great work. Each team is supported through a carefully developed creative process and at the end, all the films are given a public premiere.
To date there have been 10 RIPFEST events in New York and LA. We’ve made over 80 original short films, short movie-musicals, and documentaries.
