LI film expo now accepting submissions

The 20th annual Long Island International Film Expo recently announced they are now accepting submissions.
The expo is Nassau County’s longest running regional film festival, according to a press release from the Nassau County executive office.
It will be held from July 13 to 20, 2017 at the historic Bellmore Movies, and will include local and foreign film screenings, celebrity appearances, panels, an awards ceremony, Q&A with filmmakers and networking opportunities.
“The expo treats the public to a vast array of independent films of every genre and allows residents to meet many of the filmmakers while also generating a positive economic impact from filmmakers staying in our hotels and dining in our restaurants,” Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano said. “I encourage any and all aspiring filmmakers, from right here in Nassau County, to submit their work to this prestigious festival.”
Festivals of the past have included Ed Asner, Blue Bloods’ Robert Clohessy, Ralph Macchio, John Amos, Ally Sheedy, 30 Rock’s Kevin Brown, Kathy Moriarty, Steve Buscemi, Ed Burns, William Sadler and Ilene Kristen.
