The 30th annual New Jersey Film Festival will be taking place between May 30-June 13, 2025. The Festival will be a hybrid one as we will be presenting it online as well as doing select in-person screenings at Rutgers University. All the films will be available virtually via Video on Demand for 24 hours on their show date. VoD start times are at 12 Midnight Eastern USA. Each General Admission Ticket or Festival Pass purchased is good for both the virtual and the in-person screenings. Plus, we are very proud to announce that acclaimed singer-songwriter Mike Kovacs will be doing an audio-visual concert on Friday, June 13 at 7PM! The in-person screenings and the Mike Kovacs concert will be held in Voorhees Hall #105/Rutgers University, 71 Hamilton Street, New Brunswick, NJ beginning at 5PM or 7PM on their show date. General Admission Ticket=$15 Per Program; Festival All Access Pass=$120; In-Person Only Student Ticket=$10 Per Program.
Nobody wants to shoot a woman, do they? This film is about a woman against all odds, marginalized by society and trying to find a way to survive in a world where motherhood, misogyny, crime, and independence meet. This film is a noir crime drama set on the streets of Brooklyn brought to life by a female writer/director, producer and with a female lead. We wanted to pay homage to the great crime films set in New York City, where the city becomes one of the characters. We cast actors who are embedded in the heart of theater, television and film in New York. Nobody Wants to Shoot a Woman embraces the heart and filmmaking style of 1970s independent cinema… Cassavetes run and gun with a Scorsese crime drama vibe; inspired by one of the pinnacle feminist films, Wanda, by Barbara Loden.
