The LES Film festival was started in 2011 by creators Damon Cardasis and Shannon Walker along with creative team and fellow Festival Directors Tony Castle and Roxy Hunt.
The LES Film Festival was created to support low budget filmmakers from around the world and to showcase exceptional films made exclusively on the cheap, all in the heart of Manhattan's Lower East Side.
Damon Cardasis and Shannon Walker are a writing, directing, and producing team whose projects include the feature mockumentary MARCH!, as well as the sold out interactive theatre piece VICKY & LYSANDER. Prior to working together Damon worked for Rebecca Miller and Scott Rudin. Shannon has many Off-Broadway and independent film acting credits.
Tony Castle and Roxy Hunt are the dynamic team that make up BFD productions, a production company here in NYC that produces films, design, and events. They create everything from documentaries and narrative films, musicals, dance-icals, theatrical video integration, experimental installations and especially love the creation and implementation of film festivals & events. They partnered in 2008 to create The BFD Film Festival in Boulder, CO and haven't stopped working together since. They've collaborated with Vimeo.com in the creation of Vimeo Offline, a monthly film screening and party in New York, as well as work each year on the Vail Film Festival. Tony and Roxy currently live in the East Village with their droopy basset hound, Kroft.
