The NJFA is a non-profit, member-supported group of diverse artists, industry insiders, educators and media consumers. The NJFA is dedicated to creating a unified arts community throughout NJ through unique, fun entertainment and educational events and opportunities.

     Knowing the diverse makeup of NJ arts and artists, our programs involve both the seasoned film fan as well as up-and-coming filmmakers. As lifelong residents of NJ, we understand how diverse and vast the arts community is and saw the need to create an organization where all of these entities can work together to create a comprehensive arts coalition.

     Based out of Monmouth County, NJ, we actively seek unique film opportunities, through festivals, screenings, events and productions in order to provide our membership, as well as the general public, with entertainment, outreach and education through film.

     The New Jersey Film Alliance is dedicated to exposing the vibrant arts community of NJ to alternative forms of film, video and media. Through its programs, the NJFA seeks to discover, support and inspire independent artists and audiences. We aim to educate the community about both the creative and artistic merits of independent and international film and also about the creation of these pieces.

     The New Jersey Film Alliance is a volunteer-based organization run by its members and volunteers.

Upcoming Events:

• Next Exit Film Festival - For this event, we select noteworthy independent films and exhibit them over the course of several days. Coming August 2010.

Past Events:

• NJFA Young Talent Film Festival at Surf Taco

• Trailer Trash: A Celebration of the Movie Preview------------------------------Friday - September 18 at the Showroom, Asbury Park: This event promises to be a fun, unique and irreverent experience that highlights the lowlights of what is often the best part of going to the movies - the trailers. We’ve scoured the earth looking for some of the weirdes, wackiest and wildest trailers that we can’t believe actually exist. The NJFA presents the local comedy troupe, Helicopter Dance Off who will guide the audience through a one-of-a-kind evening through the wonderful world of movie trailers.

• 140 Second Film Festival
Inspired by Twitter’s creative brevity, the New Jersey Film Alliance presents the 140 Second Film Festival. Tell a story but make it quick. Keep it under 140 seconds. As a part of the AsburyPop convention, 140Second Film Festival will be offered this year for FREE. We’ll choose the best one’s and screen them in November in Asbury Park, NJ. It’ll be a night of fun, film and some special awards.

• As part of the NJFA mission, we are co-producing the short student film, "Bells" by Emerson University students under their production company, Coveted Entertainment.
