Presented in partnership with the NYC Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment / Made in NY, this event brings together New York film and television professionals for a conversation about building and sustaining a creative career in NYC.

After the panel and audience Q&A, the evening continues with an intentional connections mixer in collaboration with Creatricity, a national strategic growth community for multihyphenate creative entrepreneurs across entertainment, media, sports, and business.

Designed to go beyond traditional networking, the mixer invites filmmakers, industry professionals, and creative entrepreneurs to share what they're building, what they need, and how they can support one another.

Admission is complimentary for eligible 2026 Bushwick Film Festival pass holders and invited guests. Space is limited.
