DISMISSAL TIME: Short Film Marketing & Promotion at Indiegogo

Posted on June 13, 2022 by ajepyx1

While Dismissal Time: An AJ Epyx Short Film premiered last week, we are now in preparation for outreach for schools for special screenings and additional film festivals. We humbly ask for your support by donating to Indiegogo to help cover the costs for marketing materials, booking rentals for future private screenings, and covering film festival entry fees. We have a very special film that all of us in the cast and crew are proud to be part of and we want to give it the biggest push possible. Thank you. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/dismissal-time-short-film-marketing-promotion/x/1858114#/

Award winning NYC-based filmmaker and educator Andre´ Joseph had a love for movies from an early age. He began his career making short films with family and friends on home video. Andre´ attended the New York Film Academy summer program in 2001 where he first gained experience working with 16-millimeter film and later graduated Magna Cum Laude from Emerson College in 2006 where he received a bachelor’s degree in Film. In 2008, Andre´ formed his own indie film production company, AJ Epyx Productions. Since then, the company produced three professionally made feature film projects as well as four award winning short films. Among the company’s most successful projects include the crime thriller VENDETTA GAMES (Winner for “Best Urban Action Film” at the Cinemax-sponsored 2017 Urban Action Showcase and now streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Tubi) and the dramatic short film THE SAXOPHONIST (Winner for “Best Film” at the 2018 NY Jazz Film Festival and now streaming on The BeBop Channel app). As of 2021, Andre´ is currently in post-production on his next short film, DISMISSAL TIME, an anti-bullying tale loosely based on a high school incident. In addition to film projects, Andre´ has also freelanced as a videographer and editor for companies such as Vintage NYC Magazine and NBC Entertainment. Andre´ is also highly active in educating aspiring young filmmakers who seek to produce their own movies someday. He produced three online video courses on film production and screenwriting at the learning website, Skillshare. In 2021, Andre´ taught a 6-week summer film and video program to students at IDEA Center for the Arts in Camden, NJ. He has also served as a guest lecturer at various institutions including Wesleyan University, Essex County College, Brooklyn High School for the Arts, and Emerson College. View all posts by ajepyx1

"I have known Andre since he was in high school at the New York Film Academy's Summer Filmmaking Workshop at the Dalton School in Manhattan. Even then Andre was ambitious, serious and committed to learning all that her could do to be successful. Through the years he has shown himself to be committed to hard work and mastering the mechanics of the medium."

- Booker T. Mattison, Award Winning Director of The Gilded Six Bits

"When I think of integrity, kindness, and professionalism, I think of Andre' Joseph. I first met Andre' back in 2008 year when he cast me as a mouthy waitress in his film, 'Priceless', along with actor, Robert Clohessy. The challenges that go along with an indie film, did not limit Andre. His ability to get things done with a calm, kind professional nature made Andre's film set an enjoyable experience. I have the upmost respect for Andre' and always look forward to being part of anything he is creating."

- Lisa Regina, Actress & Acting Coach

"Andre is a fantastic Director. He has talent beyond belief for someone so young and just starting out. I saw his gifts as an Actress and as part of the Industry. He guides the actors to act out of truth and purpose. He welcomes new actors with grace and intelligence.
I would recommend hiring Andre for your next project as a producer, associate, assistant director...or anywhere else in your creative team! He would be an incredible asset to any production...large and small!"

-Elena Swan, Actress

"His experience as a filmmaker has made him an effective communicator and organizer which would make him a valuable asset on any film or television production. What is most important about Andre is his desire to continue learning the process of production from highly professional directors and producers. His compassion for social causes is an added asset."

- Dr. Robert Goldman, Restorative Solution

I look forward to working with him again."

- Tina Siciliano, Actor, Singer, Songwriter

"Andre´ Joseph was the Director of Photography on two of my films. Our feature, "LEO JOHN AIN'T DEAD NO MORE and short, LOVE IN FOUR PANELS. I'm proud to say both movies have been well received on the film festival circuit. We shot the feature in 9 days. That can only be accomplished if everyone is working together in perfect synch. It was a pleasure to collaborate with Andre´ on these projects. Not only does he bring a lot of technical knowledge to the set. He's a really great guy. And when you're working long hours on a movie. You want good people around you."

- Jim Harkins, Kins Productions.

"I was one of the lucky ones who got to work with André Joseph on the movie "Tempted" and never had so much fun in my life. As a director he was extremely clear on what he wanted, but yet so open minded to ideas. He made sure everyone that was working with him was taken care of, and comfortable. His professionalism towards the cast and crew was always at the perfect level. If you ever have the chance to work with him, do not pass it up because he is not only fantastic to work for, he is going places! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with you, André!"

- Kathryn Mary Wood, Actress/Model (Tempted)

"I have had the recent honor of working with Andre Joseph. It was one of the most self gratifying moments in my career where I was allowed artistic freedom that I have not experienced in recent memory. As a performer, I can only hope to work with him again in the future projects so that hopefully I can have the same experience that I was allowed in this last project that I cannot wait to see."

- Bryan Williams, Award Winning Actor (Vendetta Games)
