The Garden State Film Festival returns for its 23rd year from March 27-30.
The Garden State Film Festival was born in 2002 after a chance encounter in a Sea Girt grocery store by film industry veteran Diane Raver and the well-known Hollywood actor Robert Pastorelli. Through their deep ties to Hollywood, Pastorelli and Raver were able to bring an all-encompassing event to the state. It premiered in 2003 and was immediately deemed a huge success.
This exciting showcase of 200 films from 16 countries, 49 events showcased across nine venues and over 40 live podcasts streamed, the four-day festival brings together movie buffs, emerging talents and industry pros for a jam-packed lineup of screenings, panels and special events, according to press release through the Garden State Film Festival.
“New Jersey is brimming with hidden gems and creative energy and the Garden State Film Festival is proud to showcase them year-round,” said Lauren Concar Sheehy, executive director for the Garden State Film Festival.
