Rooftop Films are a good reason to stay in hot, sticky NYC during the Summer months. They curate some incredible film programs (both shorts and features), coupled with great music and beautiful outdoor locations. They are also developing grant programs to help the independent film community that they are part of. Their latest grant is an Equipment Grant provided through a partnership with Eastern Effects. Filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung has been awarded a two-ton lighting and grip package for 30 days to be used on his next film Lucky Life. You can see his critically-acclaimed debut feature, Munyurangabo, at The Old American Can Factory on Saturday. Congrats to all involved!
