KAFFNY Open Audition

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
new york city, New York, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) August 11, 2011 --

New York is full of countless Korean actors who have talent and passion for making it in the film industry. However, as a minority, they have a tough time making their break. The Korean American Film Festival New York (KAFFNY) is dedicated to helping these Korean/Korean American actors to access greater opportunities in New York, the US and around the world. The purpose of the Open Audition this August 20-21 is to help them gain more exposure. Through the Open Audition, KAFFNY will discover hidden Korean/Korean American talents who have not had the opportunity to showcase their talents, and act as a bridge between them and Korean/Korean American directors who work in the US. The idea is to create a film community between these actors and directors, and build a tight-knit network.
