During the pandemic, 59% of film professionals across CapNY lost their jobs. As a result, local filmmakers Michelle Polacinski and Micah Khan started the 518 Film Network group on Facebook, to connect and promote the Capital Region’s independent film community, which has seen the disproportionate job loss associated with both freelance workers and the Film / Sound sectors.

Join ACE and 518 Film Network for a night of connection and discussion, as we network and share ideas on how we can help this industry - and all creative industries alike - recover and come back stronger than ever before. Film industry professionals are especially encouraged to attend to join the conversation and network.

Delicious craft beverages will be provided by Singlecut and Flaco's Tacos Food Truck will be on the premises!

This event is outdoors and limited to 25 people, to ensure everyone is comfortably distanced.

Tickets are $10, plus a service fee, and will include one drink credit at SingleCut.
