Follow on Google News | Brooklyn Actress Makes Directorial Debut At Film FestivalLisann Valentin’s short film Our Quiet Night is an official selection of The Art of Brooklyn Film Festival
By: Lisann Valentin “I am so proud that Our Quiet Night has been chosen as an official selection of The Art of Brooklyn Film Festival. To have my film shown in my borough among the works of so many talented artists is a phenomenal feeling,” says the first-time director. Our Quiet Night tells the story of a young mom who desperately tries to hold on to tradition, but in a turn of events, she wonders whether her grasp is too tight. “It’s simply a moment in time that changes everything for this Puerto Rican family living in Brooklyn – a moment of truth between a mother and a son – and it’s those types of family moments that resonate so deeply within us,” says Valentin. The film was shot on location in Brooklyn, New York and will make its Brooklyn premiere during The Art of Brooklyn short drama block on Saturday May 16th from 8:00pm-10:00pm at St. Francis College. The Q&A Talk-back with filmmakers starts immediately following the screening. “To be able to move people through storytelling in this medium is a blessing,” says Valentin, “and to be recognized by The Art of Brooklyn Film Festival for doing so is truly an honor that leaves me beyond words.” To learn more about Lisann Valentin, visit her website at: http://www.LisannValentin.com To learn about the film festival, visit: http://www.theartofbrooklyn.org/ End
