The Ocktober Film Festival’s Opening Night reminded me of a pot of warm Gumbo with each ingredient adding its own flavor while bringing out an exceptional quality upon tasting.
This event located at the Poet’s Den located at 309 E 108th St, New York, NY on September 30th, 2015, was abuzz with many involved in theater demonstrating a focus on taking their craft to the next level.
Emelyn Stuart did a fantastic job organizing this event!.
Now on to the experience!
