WINNER
NOW CHINATOWN
a new film by Steven Dunning
has just won the
Grand Jury Prize at the
New York International
Independent Film Festival
and opened at
Madison Square Garden, New York City
with over 10,000 people in attendance.
Less than 50 films were accepted from over 1200 entries from around the world.
The night was filled with celebrities, movies and international media trying to get a glimpse of the hottest films in competition. Only the best would walk away with an award. The esteemed Jury made up of film industry professionals has one prize that is collectively given by the Jury. That's the special Jury Prize and
NOW CHINATOWN by Steven Dunning was the WINNER.
Excellent performances by the cast members and the writing, producing, directing, and acting by Dunning were worthy of the prize.
The film is to be released later this year and a SPECIAL AWARD PARTY will be held to celebrate the victory. Hope you can make it!
