On H2O Film Festival Panel in June!
As a part of the 5th Annual H20 International Film Festival, I’ve been invited to be a panelist on the “Movie Magic: Filmmaking Techniques to Develop your Game” panel taking place on Thursday, June 7 from 6 to 7:30 pm at the ImaginAsian Theater, 239 E. 59th Street. Panelists will discuss trade secrets that make film projects a success. Past festival panelist participants include Swizz Beatz, Rah Digga, Abiodun of the Last Poets, Fab 5 Freddy, Charlie Ahearn, QD3, Queen Pen, Warrington Hudlin, and Nelson George, to name a few.
The H2O International Film Festival has established itself as the world premiere showcase for emerging and established Hip-Hop filmmakers, actors and trailblazing legends that define the Hip-Hop community. Exhibiting a diverse collection of features, shorts and documentaries by independent Hip-Hop filmmakers from around the world, the mission of H2OIFF encourages and supports the use of Hip-Hop culture as a tool for community and youth empowerment, and social awareness to ensure cultural sustainability and industry longevity. Past festival attendees include Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa Melvin Van Peebles, Roxanne Shante, Bokeem Woodbine, RZA, MC Lyte, The Last Poets, Sonia Sanchez, Kanye West, and Mos Def.
Its a real honor to be a part of an incredible festival, with such a huge focus on community and keeping Hip Hop on message!
Peace,
Melissa
