Come celebrate the second season of the Brooklyn Filmmakers Collective at Union Docs in Williamsburg. Members will premiere 10 short films inspired by the often-used but rarely questioned phrase “based on a true event.” In addition to the films, festivities include all the beer you can drink for $10 and a live DJ. Proceeds support the group’s ongoing efforts to inspire and promote the best work from Brooklyn-based filmmakers. Union Docs is located at: 322 Union Ave (between Maujer St. and Ten Eyck St.) near the Lorimer L stop/Metropolitan G/Hewes J stops. Doors closed at 8:30 pm, films start at 9.

The Brooklyn Filmmakers Collective is tight-knit community of professional filmmakers in Brooklyn, NY who are dedicated to innovative approaches to filmmaking. The collective comes together through weekly peer workshops to provide sustained feedback and critiques throughout the life of its members’ projects. It is the mission of the BFC to inspire groundbreaking films and maximize exposure of the best work from Brooklyn-based filmmakers. Our collective resume includes awards from Sundance, Independent Spirit Awards, Student Academy Awards, and IFP.
