About us:
The Ocktober Film Festival (OFF) is a New York based film festival launched in 2012. OFF was founded by Emelyn Stuart who has been funding and executive producing projects since 2008. The festival has served as a launching pad for many filmmakers. In addition to being a great place to learn, network and find resources, the festival is held at Stuart Cinema And Cafe, a beautiful movie theater located in Brooklyn, New York. OFF is unique in many ways but one notable observation is that no one pays to attend the festival. All screenings and events are open and free of charge to everyone. This improves the festival's ability to attract moviegoers and allows filmmakers to invite all cast and crew members without any added expenses.
