Congratulations to everyone involved in the Dreamworld film, which was an Official Selection of the Woodstock Film Festival! Saw the screening last weekend, and am proud beyond proud of the students’ efforts. The film is a culmination of work undertaken by remarkable SUNY New Paltz students. Rose Felice began shooting for this project very early in her college career in Kimberly Ruth‘s Digital Storytelling class.

She then worked with MarleeMike and Gavin Hughes to create a remarkable account of strange goings-on in Pine Bush, NY. Happy to have seen edits in progress during Seminar in Digital Filmmaking, and to have seen a more recent edit the following year. Great job team!! #npsocialFrom

Rose Felice: I am so beyond excited to share that DREAMWORLD: PINE BUSH, NY will be having its world premiere at Woodstock Film Festival on October 2. It was a joy and an honor to tell this story about the extraterrestrial legend of my hometown and its generation of believers who still search for answers. This short documentary film was my dream project since my first semester at SUNY New Paltz, and I’m so grateful to have brought it to fruition with such wonderful people. Thank you to everyone who worked on this doc in an capacity – at any time – and a HUGE thank you to producer @marleecapuano and DP @coptic_monk who saw “Dreamworld” through with me until the very end If you’ll be at the festival, we would love to see you there!

Also my life goal of meeting Kelsey “Frasier” Grammar has been unlocked. 🙂
