FilmGym brings Summer Heat

The FilmGym continues with a fun-laden line-up of award winning short films at our favorite Culturefix, located in the Lower East Side, Manhattan.

As always, we’re proud to bring to you a galore of international award winning short films including the Sundance short “Sexting” starring Julia Stiles, and festival darling “The Hirosaki Players” followed by a Q&A with the director Jeff Sousa. Our musical guest will be Garry Novikoff, super talented singer-songwriter who will kick off the night with his fun-laden songs! (http://www.garrynovikoff.com/)
