Garden State Film Festival in Atlantic City, 2014



Over the weekend, the Fictional Films team attended the Garden State Film Festival in Atlantic City.

We had two short films, Not Fade Away and A Special Kind of Magic, accepted.

Years ago I attended the Garden State Film Festival with my short You or Me.  Then, the festival was in Asbury Park, NJ.  The festival had sprouted up as a part of Asbury Park's revitalization.  Although the festival was small, shifting basically between the Asbury Park convention hall and the hotel Berkeley along the boardwalk, I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the beach in the Spring, the homegrown movies, and their ambition.
