The Garden State Film Festival
takes over Asbury Park every year around the end of March. In 2019 the festival
celebrated its 17th year. The festival was founded by Film and
Television Veteran Diane Raver and Hollywood Actor Robert Pastorelli back in 2002. The
two artistic brains came together to not only celebrate the independent film
genre but use their platform to highlight local and independent artist from the
garden state and beyond. Since inception The Garden State Film Festival has
hosted over 40,000 attendees and continues to pay tribute to the art of
filmmaking, including New Jersey’s rich history in film.
In June of 2017 Veteran
Content Creator Lauren Concar Sheehy took over role as Executive Director keeping the Festival just as awesome as the past years. The Festival usually last a
week and is jam packed with film screenings, red carpets, networking
opportunities, parties, workshops, and panel discussions. Some of the stand out
moments of the 2019 Film Festival was the Friday Gala Cocktail Party and First
Screening of “The Bird Catcher”, The elegant Award Banquet, and Panel
Discussion: Actor on Acting featuring August Diehl, Ronnie Marmo, Siobhan Fallon
Hogan and Arthur Hakalahti. These moments were just a few and GSFF
2020 will offer much more!
