Digital motion picture and post-
production company PostWorks (www.postworks.com) today announced its
sponsorship of the 2008 Tropfest NY event, which is set for Friday,
September 26, at World Financial Center Plaza in Battery Park City,
where the free music and entertainment will begin at 5 p.m., with
film screenings to follow at 8 p.m. PostWorks is proud to partner
with Tropfest as an official Tropmate, and is also donating post-
production services to the filmmaker behind the night's best film,
as determined by judges including Julianne Moore, Billy Crudup and
Malcolm Gladwell, among others.
John Polson is the founder and creative director of Tropfest, as
well as being an established filmmaker, actor and writer. "I have
turned to the professionals at PostWorks many times over the years,
and I've always received excellent care and support," he said.
"Their expertise is truly world-class, and having them onboard for
Tropfest NY has proven to be extremely valuable in countless ways."
"Our relationship with Tropfest stemmed from our ongoing
sponsorship of the Tribeca Film Festival," said Rob DeMartin,
President and COO for PostWorks. "We have a deep love for
filmmaking at all levels, and short films are no exception. John
and his fellow organizers have identified a new crop of innovative
shorts, and their event is something that we're proud to sponsor
and attend."
Tropfest is a free, public event that kicks-off in Australia each
February via simultaneous satellite broadcast in Sydney, Melbourne,
Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra, Brisbane, Perth and a host of regional
Australian locations - collectively attracting an audience of more
than 150,000 people on a single night. This year's third annual
Tropfest NY event will also be presented live via satellite at
Toronto's First Canadian Place, which is on the corner of King and
Bay Streets. For more information, please visit www.tropinc.com.
