On July 18 at the historic Bellmore Movies and The Showplace, the Long Island International Film Expo (LIIFE) hosted their annual Director’s Audition Panel providing local actors the opportunity to perform for a panel of working directors, without the pressure of reading for a specific role, to receive feedback on their audition process.
The panel of directors was made up of current and alumni filmmakers of the festival including Josh Graydon, Laura Sweeney, Russ Camarda, Emily Dinova, Gregory Cioffi, Bob Celli, AJ Mattioli, and Debra Markowitz.
Donna Morales was on hand to read alongside any performer who needed a 2nd reader for their performance. The 26th annual Long Island International Film Expo runs from July 19 through July 23, and showcasing over 130 independent films in a variety of genres.
