*As some of you know, we've been searching for a new venue to host IndieWorks due to the extraordinary turnout at last month's event & our need for more seating space. We still aim to hold the event in the under-represented & utilized borough of Queens but were not able to find a location in time for this month's event. Luckily though, we've secured a venue in Manhattan to host the July series of IndieWorks. The People's Lounge has generously offered up their establishment & we're incredibly grateful and excited to screen 8 awesome independent short films. We hope you can join us on the 17th!

We will keep you updated on our quest for a permanent location in Long Island City or Woodside!
