$10 cover at the door (suggested donation). DESCRIPTIONStop, Drop, & Roll is a screening of eleven inventive, entertaining, and fun short films, featuring performances by 26 of New York's most PROACTIVE actors. These films were created on a single day of each calendar month in 2005 (with November off for good behavior), as part of the PROACTIVE Monthly Film program. The goal of the program was to empower and equip member actors to create short film projects. These films showcase actors' unique skills in roles of their own creation. In making the films, members gained filmmaking experience and expanded their contacts into NYC's vibrant film community. The PROACTIVE Monthly Film program was an initiative in which the group resolved to shoot a different short film on a single day of each calendar month of 2005. Members pooled resources and contacts to help one another to produce these films. Films were written, produced, directed, and shot by PROACTIVE members, with the help of a number of filmmakers from outside the group. As a result of the PROACTIVE Monthly Film program, not only were eleven films created, but also three new film production companies were brought into existence, and relationships were forged that have contributed to many other projects. THE VENUEBrass Monkey Bar is a relaxed, friendly pub smack dab in the middle of the ultra-trendy Meatpacking District. The back room features a large-screen projection system that will serve as the screening room for Stop, Drop, & Roll. The full bar features more than 20 beers on tap, and there will be Happy Hour specials all night at the event.
