#GardenStateFilmFestival #BEDBUGGERS #NJFilm #NJScreenwriting #GSFF2026
✍️ Written by incredibly gifted Tom Cavanaugh, this heartfelt and hilarious dramedy follows two teens thrust into the chaotic, road-tripping world of their long-lost con-artist father after their mother's passing.
🚗💥 Join us and witness the magic firsthand!
2 teens ➕ 1 con-artist dad ➕ 0 life preparation.
Whew! Now that’s a pitch.
🎭 As Chair of the screenplay competition, I'm thrilled to announce the talented cast bringing BEDBUGGERS — the 2026 Garden State Film Festival’s Best Feature Screenplay winner — to life in a live table read.
Big congrats to her. This is simply fantastic.
Some advice as a dear friend to two other writers that were winners with the Nicholl Fellowship…
Seize the moment immediately and mae deals. Do not wait.
There are 14 of them scattered across the grounds, and each one is more jaw-dropping than the last.
These massive, ancient giants (some over 100 years) stretch out endlessly with aerial roots dropping down like natural pillars, creating these surreal, shaded cathedrals of green.
Walking beneath them feels otherworldly — cool breezes off the bay, dappled light, statues peeking through the foliage.
Banyan trees in black and white 📸 to stay #CreativelySane.
Spent the day at The Ringling in Sarasota. The art, the circus museum, and Ca' d'Zan are incredible, but honestly?
The banyan trees stole the show. 💯
Catch the screening at the Garden State Film Festival on Sunday, March 29th at 3 PM at the Asbury Hotel.
Can't wait to share it with you!

Especially since our star was an actual rooster!
We had to be super creative with every frame to make sure to capture that feathered magic and make the storytelling pop. 🐔🎥✏️

Director Alphonse Boulos had a brilliant idea to have Christopher draw storyboards.
Christopher, who honed his skills studying 2D animation at UARTS, used his drawing expertise to bring the story to life so the crew knew exactly what was going to be filmed.
The “#FilmReadyNewJersey” status will provide filmmakers with a universal set of rules and guidelines, making Montgomery a more attractive location for production companies.

It’s so great to be amoung my #HandlebarStache brothers.

Proud to have played a part in bringing these to life in the Garden State.
New Jersey continues to be a powerhouse for storytelling, especially during Black History Month and beyond. 🎥🖤

#NJBlackHistoryMonth #FilmingInNJ #NJFilmProduction
🎥 One Night Stay
🎥 The Cookout (starring NJ’s own Queen Latifah)
🎥 Exhibiting Forgiveness
🎥 Cadillac Records (a classic celebrating Black music legends)
🎥 Call Her King (filmed entirely in Southern NJ)
🎥 Lean On Me (iconic tale of education and community strength)
As we close out Black History Month, I wanted to shine a light on more incredible projects I helped facilitate right here in #NJFilm.
These films and stories highlight Black excellence, resilience, culture, and powerful narratives.
This positions Montgomery to apply for official #FilmReadyNewJersey certification. 🎬💯
Becoming a certified #FilmReady community means streamlining the permitting process for film, & TV.
Making it easier, faster, and more welcoming for all sizes projects.
It’s always about showing up to promote and advance #NJFilm.
Neither rain ☔️ nor snow ☃️... HA! So much snow. ❄️
Thrilled to attend the Montgomery Twp meeting as they introduced their film Ordinance — establishing regulations & permit requirements for filming.
In case you missed it.

Even Mr. Snowman is having a tough time weathering this storm. ☃️
Be safe out there kids. This is serious.
☑️ NJ was historically the #8 domestic production center. Today it's competing directly with Georgia for #3 — right behind LA and NYC.
The Garden State is back in the game.
☑️ While California, Georgia, Texas, Louisiana and Toronto see declines or stagnation in production, New Jersey continues to post strong gains.
Momentum is clearly shifting.
☑️ New Jersey is rising fast in film/TV production — with Netflix at Fort Monmouth, Lionsgate in Newark, and 1888 Studios in Bayonne.
The state is now battling Georgia for the #3 spot behind Los Angeles and New York.
Cinderella’s slipper finally gave up the fairy-tale dream:
…after one too many Jersey slush puddles, it ditched the prince, lost its sparkle, and decided to ghost the whole ball scene right there on the curb.
This gem isn't just a place to watch movies; it's a hub for connection, local events, and that irreplaceable magic of shared experiences on the big screen. 📽️🎟️
If you haven't visited yet, add the Cranford Theater to your list—you won't regret it! ❤️
Excellent interview🎙️‼️
After its recent renovation & triumphant reopening, it's clearer than ever why indie cinemas like the Cranford Theater matter.
They keep downtowns vibrant, boost local economies, and build community traditions. Grateful to share why it deserves all the love! 🍿
Yesterday I did what I love most:
Spoke to an amazing “Intro to Communication & Media” class at Montclair State University!
Sharing insights, answering questions, and feeling their energy on comms/media careers was invigorating.
Huge thanks to the prof & students—recharged my passion! 🎤✨
