LI Music & Entertainment HOF to Launch Long Island Filmmakers Series
New event series will celebrate and highlight Long Island movie directors.
STONY BROOK, NY — The Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame (LIMEHOF) is proud to announce its launch of the monthly ‘LIMEHOF Local Filmmakers Series,’ which turns the spotlight on Long Island directors and their films. The series will feature a variety of dramas, horror films, comedies, and documentaries, among other genres. The series will run at LIMEHOF’s museum location at 97 Main Street, Stony Brook. Attendance is free for LIMEHOF members and general admission ticket price for non-members.
“Since LIMEHOF is no longer just a ’Music Hall of Fame,’ it is looking to raise awareness about other Long Island entertainers, such as filmmakers,” said Tom Needham, LIMEHOF Vice Chairman. “LIMEHOF is open to working with other arts organizations to select worthy filmmakers who would benefit from a special screening in a unique museum setting.”
The film series is sponsored by Rick Eberle of Magnetic Vine and G&R Events. Each participating filmmaker will have the opportunity to screen his or her film in the LIMEHOF museum theater and participate in a Q&A on the Hall of Fame stage. Screenings will also be promoted on LIMEHOF’s website, social media pages, newsletters, and in the traditional media. Additionally, filmmaker interviews will be featured on The Long Island Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame Podcast, which is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and all other leading podcast platforms.
