The New York Open Film Festival is dedicated to showing giving New York filmmakers a chance to premiere their work in a one of a kind venue. It will also foster a community between tennis enthusiasts, movie lovers and filmmakers.
The festival will connect both filmmakers and tennis enthusiasts in one of the most historic places for the sport in New York City. It will give filmmakers the chance to premiere their work in a venue like no other. It will also allow for people in the tennis world to experience the local work of up and coming directors, writers and producers. It will allow a new crowd of people to get a glimpse and potentially be a part of the New York film community. We will be celebrating not just tennis but also the history of film in NY at the historic West Side Tennis Club by turning the stadium into a courtyard that will pay an homage to when films and projectors were first introduced. It will be an experience everyone will enjoy and remember.
To bring together the two communities of both film and tennis and create a mixture that will foster creativity and diversity in both fields
