Mott Haven clothing shop, Bronx Native, and indie film screening startup, Entholigy, have partnered up to celebrate local film in Bronx.
Hosting their second screening on Saturday, April 27th at the Bronx Native shop, five films were screened from local Bronx filmmakers in front of a small audience.
“We started in Brooklyn, but ultimately Entholigy’s mission is to bring together the indie film community throughout all 5 Boroughs of New York.” said Esteban Jaramillo, Co-Founder and Creative Director at Entholigy.
Entholigy brings together independent filmmakers in non-traditional spaces a few nights a month to celebrate local film in the many neighborhoods of New York City. The startup usually draws large crowds of 40 – 80 people where 5 local filmmakers have the opportunity to share and discuss their work in front of a small audience. Screening spaces include rustic bars, Moroccan Cafes, boutique post-production studios, Japanese cultural centers, courtyards, clothing shops, and more.
“Great film comes in all different flavors and breathes throughout all 5 Boroughs and neighborhoods of this city. We knew that we had to come to The Bronx to spread this effort,so we reached out to The Bronx Native to get this done right.” said Ethan Messinger, Founder of Entholigy.
Bronx Native is a clothing store and lifestyle brand based in Mott Haven. The company is on a mission to embrace the borough’s beauty and pride through the brands apparel, art, and media. They host many cultural events in their shop and throughout the borough every month, but this is the brands eventthat promotes the indie film scene in the borough.
“Part of our mission is to support our local artists in The Bronx community. When Ethan came to us with the idea to bring The Bronx community together to celebrate and support Bronx filmmakers, I knew we needed to partner and make this happen.” said Amaurys Grullon, Founder at Bronx Native.
More independent film screenings in Bronx will be scheduled soon.
