What’s new with 1716 in October of 2025?
Our upcoming parties, premieres, and productions.
Starting off Fall 2025 with new faces and old haunts!
This October, we’ve partnered up for some exciting new collaborations, which means more opportunities to get you involved in projects and events!
I’ll also be visiting my hometown of Charlottesville, VA to catch some screenings at the 38th annual Virginia Film Festival.
We are now officially represented by Navigation Media Group!
I’m immensely grateful to be represented by a manager as I continue my filmmaking career, and especially excited to be working closely with the Navigation team going forward.
We are partnering with artist Celine Cheung on her upcoming short film and directorial debut, Nowhere But Here!
Filmmaker-performer Melissa Ann Archer and myself will both be on the project as producers, with Dessa Delfin onboard as an executive producer.
If you’re interested in working on the crew of the film and are available to work local to New York in Jan/Feb, please submit to the form linked here!
On October 26th, our short film Shallow will be premiering at the Virginia Film Festival in Charlottesville, VA!
If you’re interested in attending the in-person screening at the Violet Crown theater, tickets are still available on the VAFF website here.
On October 28th, we’ll be hosting in-person community mixer at Blinky’s bar in Brooklyn, NY!
To kick off the crowdfunding campaign of our upcoming short film Nowhere But Here, the event will feature a staged reading of the script!
The event begins and doors open at 6:30pm, the reading of the film’s script will be performed at 7:30pm, and the mixer will resume at 8:00pm.
There will be a pay-what-you-will entry fee (min. $3), of which 100% will go towards funding the film!
Please RSVP at the Partiful link here if you plan to attend. It’s 21+ and all are welcome to attend!
See you soon, and stay posted for next month’s update!
We’re always in search of future creative partners. If you have a project of your own that you want to share with our audience, don’t hesitate to reach out!
