(CRANFORD, NJ) -- The Art of Making Movie Film Festival (TAMMFF), also known as "The TAMMIES", presents its first-ever summit next week. The New Jersey Regional Summit will be held at the Cranford Theater October 23-24, 2024, and will feature an up-close and in-person perspective on how behind-the-scenes talent makes the films that audiences love.

TAMMFF is dedicated to putting the behind-the-scenes yet vital talent of filmmakers and crew on display through its yearly film fest. The festival has continued to grow since its launch in 2022. The 2024 event, which was held in June 2024, featured a two-day celebration of behind-the-scenes talent with food; vendors; speakers on gaming video, set/prop design, stop motion, and more; awards show; after party; and more than 20 screenings emphasizing categories such as props, costumes, makeup, tech, stunts, games, puppets, and stop motion.

“I welcome the concept that recognizes the talent and hard work of everyone involved,” said filmmaker Lisa Stock. “The organizers love film and the craft of filmmaking, and it shows.”

The New Jersey Regional Summit reflects the first stop of the TAMMFF’s 2025 tour, culminating in the 2025 TAMMFF in September 2025. Anyone interested in or involved in the film industry is invited to the New Jersey Regional Summit, where they will find networking, presentations, screening, and question-and-answer sessions. Guests will get up close and personal with speakers, special film events, panels with the creatives, and film screenings depicting the works of the most talented behind-the-scenes creatives across New Jersey.

On Wednesday, October 23, 2024, the New Jersey Regional Summit will run from 5:00pm-8:00pm with networking, an introduction, speakers Anthony Koithra and Holly Buechel, and screenings of ‘Grind,’ ‘Glass Eyes,’ and ‘Echose of Fado.’ On Thursday, October 24, 2024, from 5:00pm-8:00pm, guests can enjoy more networking, speakers, a question and answer session, and screenings of ‘Fools Gold’ and ‘Mean Sweets.’ New Jersey’s best filmmaking talent will be at the New Jersey Regional Summit, and event that is sure to entertain and educate guests who are interested in immersing themselves in the behind-the-scenes aspects of filmmaking.
