Thank you to everyone who came out to see THE SAXOPHONIST at the Action on Film Festival in Las Vegas! Though we didn’t win any awards for the film, we still had a packed house last Wednesday night!

We are going back to Las Vegas, baby! Our award-winning short film, THE SAXOPHONIST, has just been accepted into the 3rd Annual Hollywood Dreamz Film Festival. We were present last year for VENDETTA GAMES which had been nominated for multiple categories there as well as its sister festival, Action on Film. Hosted by veterans of over sixty years of live entertainment events and scheduled to take place in one of the most dynamic cities in the world, Las Vegas: HDIFF guarantees to give filmmakers and writers the opportunity to showcase their works to a world audience, be screened in beautiful venues, offer validation, recognition and awards in multiple Award Categories and in short, become a must attend show for all involved in the film and television industries.
The event takes place over the weeks of July 25 – August 3 with screenings at the Brenden Theater located at Palms Casino Resort. Will keep you updated on the actual screening date and time. Thank you again Del and Theresa Weston for having us back! Congrats to our cast and crew!
For AJ Epyx Productions, this was a very exciting week all around. First, we had the Action on Film/Hollywood Dreamz International Film Festival in Las Vegas where VENDETTA GAMES was screened. Between the Las Vegas setting and the festival atmosphere, we had such a blast in meeting new filmmakers (as well as ANTONIO FARGAS of “Starsky and Hutch”) to network with and enjoyed many of the films we saw. The award shows are so much fun and full of class all around. Del and Theresa Weston make all fellow filmmakers feel welcomed and embraced to be part of the AOF family. Though we didn’t win any of the awards we were up for, we gained so much insight and inspiration coming out of this festival. We’re truly thankful for the recognition.
Next up was last night’s New York Jazz Film Festival Awards event held at the legendary Paris Blues in Harlem. We were honored to accept the “Best Film” award for THE SAXOPHONIST with yours truly and star Beavin Lawrence in attendance. This was a great night for live music and meeting the fellow filmmakers and honorees who are doing their part in keeping jazz alive. We highly recommend that you support their films as well as ours by visiting the NYJFF Facebook page where you can watch all the films between now through Friday. Special thank you to Gregory Royal for this wonderful opportunity to have our film shown worldwide and all of our supporters including our fiscal sponsor, the New York Foundation for the Arts.
