10. Who organizes the series and selects the films?
Red Hook Flicks is organized by local residents of Red Hook, Brooklyn, and is supported by area businesses and nonprofit organizations. If you’re interested in getting involved, please e-mail us at redhookflicks@gmail.com.
11. Who do I contact if I have questions?
E-mail redhookflicks@gmail.com and someone will respond to you shortly.
12. I’m interested in being a sponsor, who should I be in touch with and when?
The film committee begins meeting early in the New Year to start organizing the coming summer series. We ask all potential new sponsors to reach out to us via email (redhookflicks@gmail.com) to register your interest by no later than February 1st of that year.
13. I reached out in the past, why do I have to register my interest again?
The film committee is a group of local volunteers who pull the series together in their spare time and the membership rolls shift from year to year. To ensure your interest is properly noted and considered, we ask potential new sponsors to reach out to us again at the start of the planning season.
14. How do you choose your sponsors?
Priority goes to returning organizations who’ve been with us from the start of the series. For all other potential new sponsors, the committee weighs our projected budget and the slate of options at the beginning of each planning season to determine our needs and what offers can be put to the most effective use. In particular, our projection costs have increased dramatically in the last few years and we are still looking for additional sponsors to help cover the difference. If you’re interested in becoming a Projection Sponsor, please let us know.
15. Are there other ways to be involved?
Yes! The committee is always looking for help. Please email us at redhookflicks@gmail.com about volunteering.
