CNY Film Professionals officially invites you to the Film Premiere of "CALL TIME -- Season 2" (short documentary) and "Armada" (short scripted film), Wednesday, August 12 , 6pm - 8pm, at the Palace Theatre in Syracuse!

The first 50 people to RSVP will receive FREE admission (courtesy of CNY Community Foundation)!

CALL TIME is our flagship career-launching Fellowship for aspiring film professionals. In each cohort of CALL TIME, the Fellows are challenged to work collaboratively - with each other and with a full-scale professional crew - to develop and produce an original short film.

On August 12, you'll get to find out if CALL TIME Season 2 was a success. Did all the Fellows make it through the program? How did the film turn out? What notable film industry experts helped them along the way? How many Fellows are now working professionally in film production? And what about you ... is it possible for you to have a similar career?

If you want to find out, come to the August 12 world premiere of "Armada", the short film produced with the Season 2 cohort and directed by our fearless captain, Molle DeBartolo. This short film will be followed by the premiere of a short documentary about CALL TIME Season 2 and the making of Armada.

Following the premiere of these films, you'll be among the first to find out about upcoming cinematic opportunities from CNY Film Professionals.

So if you want to join the film community, make films, and earn a living on set, join us August 12!
