The Downtown Festival: Two by Boni Mata and Kayla Dawn Marcus + Q&A

With little time and even littler budget, a directing duo attempt to finish their indie movie – but at what cost? Two is a meta-fictitious film that was principally shot in two days, a dark comic satire of gender and power dynamics in the film industry created with an ensemble cast of some of the greatest up and coming comedic talent.

Q&A following screening.

THE DOWNTOWN FESTIVAL is a celebration of emerging and established independent artists across film, music, art, and culture in New York City. These artists and their work contribute to the fabric of “downtown” and the festival reflects that special convergence of various disciplines. The Festival showcases up-and-coming talent alongside established icons through dynamic and exciting film screenings, music performances, panel discussions, and special events. Attendees are invited to experience a diverse array of voices and unique perspectives on the forefront of artistic expression. In the spirit of the energy of lower Manhattan, the Festival acts as a melting pot of ideas, inspiration, and collaboration. Roxy Cinema is the host of the Festival’s film screenings (World and New York premieres).
