The Brightside Tavern Film Festival, Co-Hosted by hMAG Photographer Chris Capaci

Are you familiar with Downtown Jersey City? It’s that quirky place, about a half mile directly to our South. We’ve been there before, and actually enjoyed it—returning home more or less unscathed…

This weekend, Sunday to be exact, hMAG photographer Chris Capaci and fellow host Chris J. Cullen will present The Brightside Tavern Film Festival at—you guessed it—The Brightside Tavern (141 Bright Street, Jersey City).

The festival runs from 10am to 9pm. This year the festival will be honoring local Jersey City filmmaker Jack Roberts and screening his great short film Walls.
