After the historic, sold-out Film Showcase at CityPlex12, it was time for the Yuri Alves Newark Film Showcase After-Party. And not just any party. Held at Jimenez Tobacco Lounge, and hosted by the incomparable Peter Jimenez, the after party attracted about 200 happy people, including the featured director Yuri Alves (and DreamPlay Media Co-Founder), the DreamPlay Media and DreamPlay Films team, as well as Robert Wilmote (GRIND) and Tommy Cuba (ON THE CUSP).
Everyone was welcomed by red carpet adorned outdoor tent, with an LED screen truck playing film excerpts and behind the scenes images, and knockout musical performances by The Velvet Trio, music by DJ Mavric and more. And then there was the food and drink situation: complimentary pizzas by Marcus B&P, seafood and more by Allegro Grill and film-inspired cocktails. Given the intensity of producing the night, only two weeks after our DREAMPLAY TV Sneak Preview Event, the DreamPlay team gladly partook in the food, drinks, and music.
Shout out to the always classy Tehsuan Glover and The Newark Times for co-hosting the party: congratulations on your 5 year anniversary!
Special thank you to our Yuri Alves Newark Film Showcase sponsor, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, and our supporting partners Newark Arts and Express Newark.
