OUTDOOR MOVIE SCREENING FOR THE TWO TIME AWARD WINNING INDIE FILM “HEARTLESS”
A Conversation About Mental Illness and The Struggling Indie Film Circuit during this Pandemic
Two-time Award-Winning Director, Jermaine Quick, in partnership with the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival, will be hosting an Outdoor Movie Screening for Jermaine’s new film “HEARTLESS”, a story about mental illness seen through the eyes of a child. The film was released in December 2019 and since then became the recipient of the Los Angeles Motion Picture Award, and the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival Award for “BEST Local PICTURE”. Jermaine was also in the Spotlight on the Greater Philadelphia Film Office website in February 2020.
The outdoor screening will take place at Tustin’s Field located @ 5900 Lancaster Avenue from 7pm to 9pm. Due to COVID-19 masks must be worn and you must bring your own chair or blanket. There will be pre discussion on Mental Illness and the struggling Indie Film scene due to the “Pandemic”. Afterward the screening there will be a Q&A about the film.
Since COVID-19 invaded our lives and crippled our economy, the Independent Film scene has been hit hard with talks of closing the Film Office because of lack of funding and film festivals scrambling to find a means to host their events due to the quarantine.
Benjamin Barnet, the Festival Director of the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival was intrigued by Jermaine’s film, “Jermaine’s film is a tough and heartless journey that brings out storylines most people don’t even know exist. Great film.”
After a few convivial conversations concerning Jermaine’s successes and his new website venture, Ben decided to join efforts with Jermaine on a new virtual experience. Jermaine’s new web platform “The Palace” (www.illadelstyles.net) is a curated multimedia platform enabling Filmmakers, Music Artists, and Clothing Designers to seek out and exchange original work, information, and services.
