Several films from our 2007 program (many of which premiered at ACE Fest) have gone on to achieve varying levels of success from international distribution deals to finishing funds and major studio options. Today, we'd like to highlight Little Chenier, winner of Best Feature at ACE Film Festival 2007.

Bethany Ashton Wolf's feature directoral debut made its first East Coast appearance at ACE and continues to wow audiences all over the festival circuit. The Cajun story about two brothers living in the bayous of Louisiana has just recently obtained a limited theatrical run, nation-wide! If you missed this incredible film at ACE Fest 2007, be sure to check out the trailer HERE and keep an eye out for Little Chenier at a theater near you!

The response was overwhelming to the Entertainment Industry networking Party! The guest list is not only overflowing but is sprinkled with some of the biggest names in distribution, PR, broadcasting, production, music and more! This is truly shaping up to be one of the hottest New York City events of the year. To those of you who didn't get a chance to sign-up, we assure you this won't be the last bash ACE Fest throws this season. Be sure to join our mailing list to stay ahead of the game for the future! On a side note, the Donate page is now live and ready for contributions.

We will be accepting submissions February 8 - May 9. This is your chance to screen your work to an audience of fellow filmmakers, industry players, press, distributors and moviegoers in the heart of Manhattan! For more information please visit our Submit page.
